Burgess). Fiddle features prominently, as does song, and the ceilidh dance tradition (Tom Anderson and Aly Bain offer a stunning ceilidh set). Gaelic was the native language, and it's never died out, as a number of singers here show. Up in the Isles, it's the tradition of mouth music that lives on, and Capercaillie's Karen Matheson offers a modern version of one of those puirt-a-beul songs. Reels and jigs are also as much a part of the country as the heather, and they're here in force. But the south of Scotland has long been urban, and Ewan MacColl's "Dirty Old Town" is something of a grimy hymn to that modernity. For an introduction to music strongly influenced by the tradition, this is honestly hard to beat. --Chris Nickson (amazon.com)   Scottish Destiny  Music by: North Sea Gas  Media: CD  SPAR Code: ---  Tracks: 16  Origin: UK Freedom Come All Ye Air Fa La La Lo Follow Me Up To Carlow Massacre Of Glencoe Willie's Gang Tae Melville Castle Bonnie Dundee Leaving Of Liverpool Bright Blue Rose The Dawning Of The Day (Scottish Destiny) Ye Jacobites By Name Caledonia Jig O'Slurs, The Atholl Highlanders & Caliope House Wind In The Willows Kishorn Commandos Maries Wedding Molly Malone   Scottish Drinking & Pipe Songs  Music by: Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger  Media: CD  SPAR Code: ---  Tracks: 25  Origin: UK Bagpipe Pipe Tunes (Hail Ro Ruadh Waternish / Daldownie's Reel / The Spider in the Gaff / Slow Gaelic Air) I'm a Young Bonnie Lassie Never Wed an Old Man He Widna Wint His Gruel My Rovin' Eye Jack Mac Graw My Son David Johnny O'Braides-Lee Mac Pherson's Lament Lament for William Chisholm Blue Bonnets Over the Border Three Waulking Songs & a Song for Finishing the Cloth Gentle Lady Soldier's Song Mouth Music The Sister's Lament Song of the Thrush Dandling, Spinnish & Waulking Songs Pipe Imitations Johnny Lad The False Lover Won Back Aikendrum The Gairdener Chyld The Maid Gaed to the Mill The Elfin Knight   back to the Scotland Store Questions, Comments?   Please Contact ASH Page Last Updated: March 22 2024 00:38:25.
