Awesomely Celtic Bliss
I could not help be listen to album for seven days straight. The whiskey helped...but moreso the music was so riveting I could not leave the house. I am now deaf in one ear but it was worth it. You must hear this album. CuckCoo ForCeltic
Simply Awesome
I do not consider myself an expert on traditional Scottish music, but I do know what I like --and I love this album (and the Tannies!) It is one of my all-time favorites of any genre. Everytime I play it, I am blown away. And I play it often! Some highlights (and there are lots of highlightable moments here): "Atholl Highlanders/Johnny Cope" -- these two Jacobite songs are melded perfectly and, to put it as best I can, they ROCK! Also, there's the devestating, "Jamie Raeburn's farewell" -- one of very few Tannies songs to feature that non-traditional Scottish instrument, the electric Guitar. Heart-wrentchingly emotional. But these are just two great moments in an overall awesome collection.
This CD is a great introductioin to both Traditional Scottish music and the Tannahill Weavers. If you have any interest in Scottish/Celtic music, piping, or just plain good music, then get this CD!
WOW!!! Great music!
I saw these guys play in Charlotte Oct. 13 of this year, and Wow!! They are great! I'm a student piper, so I was simply amazed at the skill and speed of Duncan, the piper. The songs are great, every one of the men in Tannahill Weavers is very talented and you can see they not only just sing, but they sing with emotion, love and meaning. You will not be disappointed in any of their CD's. I guarantee that if you are a lover of scottish/irish music the slightest bit, you will fall in love with this group's soulful music.
Great folk music from the kings of the Highland pipes
When it comes to bagpipe music, the Tannies are far and wide my favorite. Superbly blended with the entourage of other traditional celtic instruments, these songs are truly inspiring and heartwarming. From the foot-thumping energy of Johhny Cope, to the powerful drama of Jamie Raeburn's Farewell, this album will surely raise your spirits and stir your soul! Forget all that new-age pseudo-celtic music that has flooded the market in recent years. If you want the best of traditional jigs and reels, this is where to find it. The _Best of_ is a perfect place for new listeners of the Tannies and new listeners of celtic music in general to start out. If this music doesn't have you out of your seat and dancing, you must be tied to the chair! Give it a listen!
