Nothing stands still for Battlefield Band. Over 30 years on the road and still producing the goods. Perhaps the word "daze" in the album title comes from the pace this group of Scottish musicians live at.

The new element in this album is the addition of Karine Polwart to the line-up. The music on the album is their usual unique high quality mix of self penned and traditional music and song reflecting the band's Celtic background.
