The album is inspired by traditional songs Karen Matheson grew up with and reunites her are with Capercaillie’s producer Donal Lunny who plays guitar, bouzouki and bodhrum. The album is a mainly acoustic affair, leaving space for the voice which has mesmerized audiences throughout the world during her career. Recorded in the serene setting of Crear Studios on the West Coast of Argyll, the album evolved from live sessions with James Grant (guitar), James MacKintosh (percussion), Donald Shaw (piano/accordion), Ewen Vernal (double bass) and Donal Lunny.
