专辑介绍

by Rick Anderson

As one of Scotland's finest traditional bands, Old Blind Dogs have been giving the mighty Tannahill Weavers a run for their money since the group was first formed in 1990. They boast a nearly unbeatable array of strengths: a powerful lead voice in Jim Malcom, fine vocal harmonies, a top-notch fiddler (Jonny Hardie) and piper (Rory Campbell), and all-purpose strings man (Aaron Jones), as well as the unusual but always tasteful contributions of young percussionist Fraser Stone. A live album is long overdue, and this one doesn't disappoint. The sound quality is excellent, clear and balanced, and the performances mostly bristle with energy. Only the instrumental set &Sky City& fails to really catch fire -- everything else, from a rollicking rendition of the traditional song &Battle of Harlaw& that opens the album to the gorgeous and spare &Wild Rumpus& reel set that closes it, is by turns irresistibly energetic and seductively beautiful. Other highlights include a sturdy rendition of the classic Robert Burns song &A Man's a Man for A' That,& a funky arrangement of &Kincardine Lads,& and a lovely set of Breton and Galician tunes. Very highly recommended to all fans of Celtic music.
