Scottish folk music (traditional & contemporary – both instrumental and vocal tracks) recorded live (insert usual caution about applause at start/end of songs). Fiddle, pipes, harmonica, vocals, guitar, perc. Lead vocalist has a catchy, nasally-sound & quite thick Scots accent so don’t expect to understand the lyrics much.
*1. Catchy midtempo story song.
2. Sweet instrumental dance medley. Starts midtempo, gets fast.
*3. Very cool blend sound to this midtempo story song. I like.
4. Instrumental starts slow & gets rocking. Really well done.
*5. Bouncy, toe-tapping fun for voices/whistle/perc/strings.
6. Instrument set mid/uptempo. Beautifully melodic.
*7. Mid/uptempo w/a great sound. Completely incomprehensible.
*8. I love this wicked-fast instrumental pipe jam.
9. A bright “pass the whiskey” kind of song. Fun & catchy.
10. Downtempo “I’ll be dead soon” song of war.
11. Whistle/fiddle-driven instrumental. Mostly midtempo.
12. Midtempo Robert Burns lyrics that gets fast & wild.
13. Nice uptempo instrumental jam from all.
