Review

Alasdair Fraser is one of the premier violinists playing in the Celtic music genre. On this collection of tunes from his native Scotland, Fraser proves to be as adept at lively reels as he is at soulful ballads. Backed primarily by Paul Machlis on piano and very subtle synthesizer, he offers us his heartfelt renditions of these traditional pieces. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats, All Music Guide
