The McCalmans have been at the forefront of harmony singing for several decades. The trio are passionate advocates of the song, whether traditional or contemporary and are superb practitioners of this musical form.

One reason for the group's success is their continual use of new material and this, their twenty fourth album (released 1999), is no exception. It contains nine songs from the pens of some of Scotland's best songwriters, two from band member Nick Keir and a first ever composition from band member Derek Moffat. There is a refreshing variety of material, excellent contemporary songs, some classic traditional ones and one which is very humourous.
