Harris stated that “Sailing Round the Room” was inspired by Terri Schiavo and is a celebration of life and death; “How She Could Sing the Wildwood Flower” refers to the relationship between A. P. and Sara Carter and was inspired by a documentary that Harris, together with Kate and Anna McGarrigle, saw on television. The song “Gold” features guest vocals by Dolly Parton and “Old Five and Dimers Like Me” is a duet between Harris and John Starling.

The album was made #49 in Q’s 50 Best Albums of the Year 2008.[14]
