All compositions and lyrics are by Issa Boulos; the lyrics of Ali are by Hussain Barghouti.  

This album is dedicated to my family, friends, and fans who would not let these mostly over 20-year-old compositions die; you have made a bright moon out of my life. Special thanks to Jennifer Trowbridge, Don Jacobs, and Najib Bahri, the original Issa Boulos Quartet, for their encouragement, support, and input. Special thanks to Wanees Zarour for his continuous encouragement and engagement and for believing in its value. Special thanks to Bashar Shamout, Scott Cashman, Suzan Boulos-Zarour, Imad Boulos, Edgar Gabriel, Peter Aglinskas, Osama Zayed, and Greg Clemons; their suggestions and help made the production of this album more efficient.
