From the back cover: Charlie MacKinnon and Lillian Crewe Walsh have made a substantial contribution to the folklore of Cape Breton Island by writing many songs and poems that will take their place among the traditional music brought to the Island from Scotland and Ireland by the people who settled there.

On this album Charlie MacKinnon has re-recorded the songs he is most requested to perform on his many tours and appearances throughout the Maritimes and New England States.

Charlie is a native of Cape Breton and as evident in the song My Cape Breton Home as well as other compositions, is very proud of it. He is truly an artist that warrants the gratitude of the people of Cape Breton Island for his major contribution to their music and their culture.
