Shop for "The Crooked River" by Nicholas Williams

Canadian Nicholas Williams certainly knows his way around a flute.

I can't recommend this album enough - the things he does with traditional reels is jaw-dropping stuff, and his own compositions - with what I think are strong French (Breton? French Canadian?) influences - are exciting to listen to but thrilling to play!
