Excerpts from the sleeve notes:
“Robin started his musical career, as so many young people do today, by playing jazz, which gave him an interest in American Negro folk music. However, he has folklorist Hamish Henderson from the Edinburgh University School of Scottish Studies, to thank for his present interest in Scottish folk music. Hamish showed him the wealth of song that was his own heritage, and indeed, taught him many songs from his own vast collection.”

Excerpts from the Sleeve Notes:
Robin Hall is a young singer from Glasgow, with a natural and graceful voice capable of giving full expression to the varying emotions of the songs on this record. His simple yet thoughtful guitar accompaniments, successfully underline the melodies and feelings of the songs. Robin has real affection for Scotland and its traditions.
