This is Alistair's first solo recording and is long overdue. Alistair has surrounded himself with some of the finest musicians in the folk scene and his arrangements on nine of the twelve tracks reflect this. The other three tracks are just Alistair and Morag Macaskill (on piano) playing solo fiddle music with piano accompaniment. Pure connoisseur stuff here with Morag displaying why she is one of the most sought after accompanists. Simple, sympathetic playing and considering it was played on an electronic piano - very pleasant.

Apart from Morag, Douglas Whyte also takes piano/synthesizer duties, while Dougie Pincock adds bagpipes, small pipes, flute and whistles to the mix.
