Notes
1 These tracks only appear on the 1995 New Zealand release, with the song "Black Magic Won" to celebrate the America's Cup victory. I suppose it depends in which part of the world you live, but the New Zealand release seems (to me) much harder to find, and all the information on this release comes from other sources.
2 These tracks only appear on the 1996 Canadian release.
3 also appears on Songs from My Irish Rovings—Volume Two: 2007 - (?) CD
4 also appears on Songs of the Irish Rovers - Volume One: 2007 - Chacra Music (Digital release)
5 also appears on My Irish Family Band: 2009 - Chacra Music (Digital release)
While released in 1998, the video Will Millar and Some Mad Irishmen was probably recorded around the same time as Rogues & Romancers, or at least during the promotion of this CD. The line up of musicians is almost identical—except Davey Walker, and both include quite a few of the same songs.
