"The music on the album is very much a journey back to my roots. Violet Tulloch, May Gair and Willie Johnson provide the kind of accompaniment I was used to hearing as I grew up in Lerwick. Violet started playing piano as a young girl and was a member of Tom Anderson’s Islesburgh Dance Band during the 50’s. May played bass with the Shetland Fiddlers Society for many years. Peerie Willie Johnson learned his guitar-playing from records of Lonnie Johnson and Eddie Lang back in the 20’s and 30’s. He adapted the jazz style to traditional music and has accompanied Tom Anderson for more than fifty years." - Aly Bain
