This album of traditional material includes a handful of tunes not entirely from the standard traditional repertoire. Woody Guthrie's "Ludlow Massacre" is included as well as some of John's more traditional-style originals: "Who'll Rock the Cradle," "Heaven's Wake," and "Road to Bangor." In addition to singers Iris Dement, Tim & Molly O'Brien, and Robin & Linda Williams, instrumentation is far-ranging. Not only are there the requisite fiddle, banjos, and hammer dulcimers, John has brought in didgeridoos and African drums...instruments that were traditional long before banjos were invented.

McCutcheon is a master of traditional music and his return to form is joyous, deep, and tremendously satisfying.
