Silly Wizard's distinctive sound is defined by the deft accordion-playing of Phil Cunningham and the heartfelt vocals of lead singer Andy M. Stewart. Martin Hadden on keyboards and guitars and Gordon Jones on guitar and bodhran round out the core quartet which is augmented on this album by fiddler Dougie MacLean and drummer Roy Ashby. Stewart's singing is a delight on "If I Was a Blackbird" and "The Fishermen's Song"and Cunningham, a whiz on accordion, also displays his composing skills with tunes like The Pearl.
