Only six of the tracks are versions of existing country and folk songs, the others were written by Frisell. Among the great songs in there is "Shenandoah" wich is dedicated to the guitarist Johnny Smith, creator of Moonlight in Vermont, a collection of singles made with saxophonist Stan Getz in 1952.
