The Midnight Train Home

by Erika Tamar

This playlist captures the poignant journey of Deirdre and her brothers aboard the Orphans' Train and her transformative experience with a vaudeville troupe. The instrumental tracks evoke the historical era, the vastness of the American West, and intimate moments of resilience, while the vocal selections explore themes of family, hope, and personal growth during a challenging time in 19th-century America.
