Planxty serves up a delectable dish of traditional folk songs here. "Johnny Cope" combines the standard tune with a hornpipe of the same name. Three polkas are featured next: "Dennis Murphy's Polka", " 42 Cheque", and "John Ryan's Polka", played as a medley.
The album continues with a handful ofreels, a Bulgarian dance, and a poignant version of "The Little Drummer" (not to be confused with "The Little Drummer Boy"). A subtle, solemn version of "The Lakes of Ponchartrain", a tune that dates back to the war of 1812, follows. A setof double jigs continues the musical journey, and the albumcloses with an emigration song, "The Green Fields of Canada".
