The Voyage (album)

The Voyage is a 2005 album by Irish folk musician, Johnny Duhan containing his internationally famous modern Irish folk classic "The Voyage".

The idea to write on the family theme grew organically out of Johnny's earlier excavations of family history in some of the songs on his Just Another Town album. Measuring the early struggles of his own marriage against his parents’ rocky relationship, he wrote a song called "Trying to Get the Balance Right", and this led on to reflections on the whole institution of marriage and child rearing. Over a six or seven-year period his thoughts on the subject crystallized into a series of songs that eventually became The Voyage album.
