Комментарии к песням (англ)
1. Mormon Breakdown
"An instrumental piece born half by accident - the first part of the verse is from the Irish folk song "Mormonbraes" and the rest follows the tradition of American banjo instrumentals."
2. Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia
"Great country yodeler Jimmie Rodgers' song in a ragtime-influenced arrangement."
3. An Suisín Bán
"An Irish tune, a so-called "set dance" picked from the setlist of The Chieftains."
4. Tramps and Hawkers
"One of the many tunes whose origins are disputed between the Irish and the Scottish."
5. Sweep Hornpipe / John Ryan's Polka
"Two slightly odder and less heard Irish dances: hornpipe and polka."
6. Jenny Drinks Nae Water
"Originally a Scottish dance, our arrangement is a bit more sensitive than usual."
7. Blue Ridge Mountain Blues
"One of many homestead songs about mountains in the bluegrass genre."
8. Stetson
"A dobro instrumental composed by Olli, performed by the composer himself with accompaniment by the band."
9. Farewell to Athenry: The Musical Priest / The Wind That Shakes the Barley
"Through these two reels we send our hellos to Christy Howley and our other hospitable Irish friends in the town of Athenry."
10. Darling Companion
"Lovin' Spoonful's song from ten years ago. Juha made good use of the studio by singing a duet with himself."
11. Hamilton County
"A typical American violin tune performed in breakdown style: every instrument gets its own part."
12. Humours of Schull
"At the Cambridge Folk Festival, the destination of our yearly studying trip, there's a band that's active for nearly 24 hours a day, playing a type of down-to-earth music that sounds approximately the same as our version of this reel."
13. Bretagnelainen sikermä
"The tune heard at the beginning and the end of this medley was taught to us in the summer of '74 by an Irish accordion player."
14. Going Down This Road
"A bluegrass classic - the lyrics exist in several different versions."
15. All I Ever Loved Was You
"A serious attempt to capture the wistful mood of slow bluegrass songs."
16. Old McLevander
"Seppo's banjo etude no. 2."

Дополнительная информация (англ)
Доп. информация: Here's one of the best groups to be signed by record company Hi-Hat! Vanha Isäntä won the national pop band contest in 1973, and debuted on vinyl with the single "Onkimiehen blues / Greensleeves" the following year. A second 7", "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms / Pälkäne Backstep" changed their language from Finnish to English and the label from RCA to Hi-Hat.
For starters, here's the first album from 1975. It's subtitled "Music from Ireland, Scotland, Bretagne and North America, i.e. areas where Celtic-based folk music is still alive..." It contains material ranging from country and bluegrass to Irish dances, and a Lovin' Spoonful cover. All wrapped up in one of the funniest record sleeves ever. The artist is Mauri Kunnas, one of my favourite cartoonists, and his work on the front cover is so rich with details I decided to do the artwork at near maximum size, so you can examine the sleeve thoroughly. You'll certainly find many familiar characters among the horde of people: Jimi Hendrix, Adolf Hitler, Batman, Donald Duck, Albert Järvinen from Hurriganes, president Urho Kekkonen, Leonid Brezhnev, minister and politician Johannes Virolainen, Jeff from Kunnas' popular comic strip Kotlant Jaarti...
Vanha Isäntä followed this with three more albums, abandoning the celtic music for pure country and western.
