Reg Hall brings together a comprehensive collection of traditional Irish dance music spanning from 1928-1963. Hall explains that much of the music collected on this album was made "largely as popular music for restricted sale to Irish country working-class people at home and in the ghettos in England and America". The album thus provides a privileged insight into music that was previously unheard by the larger public.

Liner notes include an introduction by Reg Hall, as well as information on the performers and songs themselves.
