They have gone back to the original tunes and have created their own bass lines and arrangements based on their knowledge of 18th century music. The poetry and tunes are delightful and refreshing. Burns was not a composer, but a great collector of his national music. He took existing songs that were only partly remembered and rewrote the verses to "mend them" as he wrote. He set his poetry to his favorite fiddle or bagpipe tunes.

Reviews include American Record Guide's comments: "Morris sings with wonderful abandon, never losing control of tone or intonation. She has a lovely lilting voice, sometimes changing her tome quality to a surprising degree as she finds the right timbre for a special moment." "Morris and Craig approach the world of 18th century music making in a most profound way."
