The Music And Song Of Edinburgh
A collection of music, song and one poem from Edinburgh by Scotland’s finest artistes.
With some track changes and a new running order this very popular album was re-released.
The album has been brought up to date with the substitution of some recent and previously unavailable recordings, while the running order was altered to make the new release a much more balanced compilation.
Some of the songs catalogue important historical events while others paint a picture of the many interesting aspects of the city and others are simply humorous observations. There are also some fine instrumental pieces played on pipes, fiddle, concertina and the unusual Jaw Harp.
This is a very listenable album and a lasting musical memory of a visit to Edinburgh.
The Greentrax Recordings budget label (Celtic Collections) tracks were selected from the rich Greentrax back catalogue, plus some albums specially recorded for the Series. These are quality recordings of top Scottish artists at a bargain price. A great buy for tourists and discerning collectors alike.
