Album Information

Harris stated that "Sailing Round the Room" was inspired by Terry Schiavo and is a celebration of life and death; "How She Could Sing the Wildwood Flower" refers to the relationship between A. P. and Sara Carter and was inspired by a documentary that Harris, together with Kate and Anna McGarrigle, saw on television. The song "Gold" features guest vocals by Dolly Parton and "Old Five and Dimers Like Me" is a duet between Harris and John Starling. [Graff, Gary (14 June 2008).
