James Morrison is a great storyteller – he is an outstanding musician, performer, and adventurous Australian who knows how to live his life the fullest!

All pieces are Latvian folk songs and were arranged by James Morrison (except for "Bēdu manu lielu bēdu", which was arranged by Graeme Lyall). The two-part piece "Klusums un vētra" or "Calm and storm" are original pieces of James Morrison.
