Consisting of a varied selection of songs by Robin Williamson and Mike Heron, the album features eclectic arrangements and structures.

With their popularity and reputation growing on both sides of the Atlantic, they began selling out large venues like the Fillmore and the Royal Albert Hall.

As Heron explains, "...we were touring maybe six months of the year and by that time we all lived together, in eight cottages joined together in this place called Glen Row.

With the incorporation of the two new personnel, live performances could more closely resemble album pieces, which was in the band's mind as Wee Tam and the Big Huge was simpler in comparison to its predecessor.

[7] Wee Tam and the Big Huge, like the band's past albums, exudes a specific message of serenity, harmony, and overall well-being.

This affected sales and chart position in the U.S., but, more importantly, it diluted the single thematic continuum the band had expected the album would express.
