Album Remarks & Appraisals:

The Scottish folksong repertoire is quite rich. The fusion of Celtic and Lowland cultures, the nation's troubled history and an irreverent sense of fun mark many of the songs. What binds together these songs is the beauty of the melodies and the skill with which lyricists like Burns could match new or re-modeled words to traditional tunes. A selection of these are sung here by soprano Marie McLaughlin.
