REVIEW:
"The Best Ever Scottish Compilation provides a great overview of a broad spectrum of Scottish traditional music, in a two-CD set from REL. There is loads of great music on this collection, ranging from young and older players in a wide variety of styles, and including piping, fiddling accordion playing and songs, in 35 tracks. The album includes many of the old standards that you would expect, including "Amazing Grace," "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose," and "Wild Mountain Thyme," as well as popular jigs, reels and waltzes, such as "The Boston Two Step." There are tales of betrayal in "The Massacre of Glencoe" sung by John McDermott and stirring numbers from massed bands like the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra and the Bucclleuch and Queensberry Caledonia Pipe Band. The artists include The Porridge Men, harpist Lori Pappajohn, Enter the Haggis, Jimmi Shand, The Tartan Lads, Celtic Spirit, Freeland Barbour, Isla St. Clair, The Clydesiders, and the Kingdom Folk Band. I particularly enjoyed Lori Pappajohn's "Then Shall I Love Thee," The Clydesider's "The Surf and the Silver Fishes," "Enter" by Enter the Haggis, and the "Air and Shetland Reels" contributed by Freeland Barbour. As with many compilations, this is a way of checking out individual artists and hearing new groups without committing to an entire CD. This collection represents a good introduction to a broad variety of music in the Scottish tradition." Greenmanreviews.com

THE BEST EVER SCOTTISH COMPILATION is quite simply the best collection of Scottish music available. A double album presenting our finest musicians on the accordion, the pipes, the fiddle, the celtic harp, plus the human voice and much, much more.

These amazingly varied albums draw together examples from the huge range of styles and sounds that make up what is generally known as Scottish/Celtic music. Over 130 minutes of fantastic music on this double CD or cassette set.

Dip into this compilation and you will find romantic ballads, soothing mood music, classic jigs and reels to get you dancing, and astonishing artists whose music lifts the soul. In fact there's something for everyone.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY....

"... there is some excellent material present, ranging from the neo-ceilidh and Shooglenifty-flavoured Porridge Men (just add salt) to classy balladeer John McDermott and solidly entertaining, robustly melodic The Clydesiders. Enter the Haggis offer full-blown bagpipe-led Celtic rock, there's an appearance from much respected folk musician Freeland Barbour, and The Kingdom Folk Band produce country-inspired acoustic folk which manages to hit the right spot. Add to the mixture a couple of live recordings from Jimmy Shand and you've a surprisingly rich and varied collection which showcases well the wide range of the REL label, and of contemporary Scottish 'folk' music."
Sean McGhee - Rock 'n' Reel

"This is going to be big among tartan-clad exiles anywhere on the planet."
Alistair MacLean - The Scots Magazine
