'The Gregory Walker' is Vince's first completely instrumental release. After taking up the hammered dulcimer in 2000 and using it on Branching Out he felt it an interesting new direction to take. It's also his first departure from Celtic music, being primarily English music of the Renaissance. The tunes include:
1. Petronella5/Cooley's Reel5/The Maid Behind the Bar5
2. The London Gentlewoman4/Cuckolds All in a Row4
3. Pavanne Quadro1/Galliard to the Quadron Pavan2
4. The Old Mole4/The Millfield4
5. Fig For a Kiss5/Road to Lisdonvarna5
6. Robart's Request2/Maydens of the Country1
7. Si Beag Agus Si Mhor (Sheebeg and Sheemore)3
8. Over the Waterfall5/John Ryan's Polka5
9. Ground4/Jyg1/A French Toy1
10. Parson's Farewell4/Gathering Peasecods4
11. Foxhunter's Jig5/Kesh Jig5
12. The Spanish Pavan1
13. Rufty Tufty5/The Health4
14. The Hunt is Up4/John Come Kiss Me Now4
15. Nonesuch4
