An incomplete greatest hits CD, it also has three new songs. Courtin' in the Kitchen, sometimes known as Capt. Kelly's Kitchen, is a catchy tune about male and female rogues. The Schooner Lake Set is the first by the band to feature bagpipes by the newest member of the band. Nancy Whiskey, also a traditional, is sung by the bodhran player and features electric pipes and a fast catchy set of verses about drinking.
