Other instruments were added (on four of the eleven tracks) by Rens van der Zalm (fiddle and mandolin), Stephen Cooney (didgeridoo, Kpanlogo drum), Declan Masterson (low whistle) and Irvine himself, who played a second mandolin on two of the tracks.

The album opens with "Prince Among Men", a song about the hazards and dangers of working underground in a mine–which Irvine wrote from the perspective of a man whose late father, James Doyle, had been a miner.

"Băneasă's Green Glade" is a re-worked version of the song he had first recorded with Planxty, followed this time around by "Rumen Sirakov's Daichevo", Irvine's solo adaptation of "Didinata", a dance tune in 9
8 time (3–2–2–2) composed by Bulgarian tambura player Rumen Sirakov.

"Rain on the Roof/The Blue Mountains of New South Wales" is a self-penned set of jigs.

"My Heart's Tonight in Ireland" is Irvine's nostalgic recollection of the times he spent touring in County Clare with Sweeney's Men.

"Forgotten Hero" is a passionate song reminiscing about the life and struggle of Michael Davitt, the founder of the Irish National Land League.

Then comes a set of Bulgarian dance tunes: "Pamela's Rŭtchenitsa" in 7
16 time, "Gruncharsko Horo" in 9
16 time and "Baker's Dozen", an apt and witty title for a dance tune in 13
16 time.
