Each tune is laid out in the same sequence as on the CD and the book is spiral bound making it easy to read. The most requested pieces include the title track, “Across the Black River”, written by Kevin, as well as “The Lighthouse Keeper’s Waltz” and the ever popular “Paris Nights” written by Cal. Other tunes of note are the unique interpretation of Bill Monroe’s “Evening Prayer Blues”, John Carty’s “Seanamhac Tube Station” and Chris Twigg’s “The Forgotten Chateau”.
