Bill Staines' second recording for the Folk-Legacy label, The Whistle of the Jay features a strong selection original songwriting in Staines' classic Western-inflected style. Keeping with the album's titular theme of migration, the songs here take inspiration from across the North American continent, singing of Missouri, French Canada, Mexico, and all in that's in-between.
