FIRST HEARING:
As this is a compilation it's best to give the feel of the whole album in a few words.
Not easy! Way over an hour of a strong Scottish mixture of song, dance, accordion. fiddle, pipes&drums, folk, fiddle and all that's missing is the dram.
An historic cast of performers, many no longer with us, recorded at the peak of their careers in the post-war years.
Nostalgia with a capital N.
