Various Artists: A Celebration of Scottish Music
Genre: Folk & Traditional
Catalogue Number: COMD2003
Label: Temple
Released: 1988
This album celebrates the musical heritage of Scotland, a noble and exciting heritage often hidden, not only from the visitor, but even from the native of this country. All too often you will have offered to you music more suited to the vaudeville stage, the drawing room or the tourist pub; something quaint that does not question preconception and would probably be very much at home in "Brigadoon". Here, Temple records present the broad sweep of Scottish traditional music, played by the best musicians and singers in this field. Musicians who don't view their tradition as something of the past, of interest only to antiquarians, but as a vibrant contemporary music as relevant and entertaining today as it ever was.
