On this album, Christine is joined by other musicians, many of them friends, who were already immersed and sympathetic to traditional music. Not only did her beautiful voice and flawless traditional style bring her recognition as a leading Gaelic singer, but the album broke down many barriers and widened the audience for Gaelic song on both national and international level. In retrospect this is an album that broke the mould. This was the fore-runner to a whole new generation of recordings by young Gaelic artists who, following Christine's example, found freedom to express themselves in a "modern" way that owed everything to the past.
