The pieces cover the wide spectrum of Williamson’s incredible vocal & songwriting talent, harp playing and storytelling - with all instruments (with one exception in one song) played by the master himself and with Scottish harp tunes from 16th Century mixed with his own unique material - all with the Celtic harp as a central voice. intriguing anthology, with several relatively rare tracks, for already-converted followers and fans.
