Oh-so-good Celtic folk/rock from Scotland. Karen Matheson’s lead vocal is fabulous, as are the guys on guitar, perc, bass, keyboards, accordion, fiddles, flutes, and whistles. Completely wonderful music that stands true to their roots but with a look towards the future. You can’t go wrong whatever you play. (P.S. The band is pronounced cap-er-KAY-lee.) Most tracks in Scots/Gaelic

1. Midtempo Celtic funk w/great vocals.
2. Driving folk rock w/a warm, contemporary sound.
3. Slow, sad anti-war ballad. Very well done.
4. Bright & bouncy medley of upbeat folk dances.
5. Sweet, playful upbeat medley. Great fun.
6. Fragile vocals, slow, gentle as a Scottish mist on the loch.
7. Midtempo, flowing & lyrical, contemporary folk.
8. Light & catchy waltz, a blend of modern folk w/a hint of jazz.
9. Midtempo anti-war song, contemporary folk rock. In English.
10. Midtempo medley of dances.
11. Set of reels w/a touch of funk. Upbeat & driving.
12. Downtempo with a cinematic flair.
