Notes

Strictly "Gordeanna McCulloch With The Clutha"

Track B2 is traditional and from the singing of Jeannie Robertson. It was not so much arranged by Ray Fisher but added to as she wrote four additional verses to those sung by Jeannie.

This is one of the most sublime albums I have ever heard. There is something so pure and authentic and beautiful about Gordeanna (pronounced Gordeena not Gordy-anna) McCulloch's voice that you cannot help be enthralled by it. I say authentic because it is possible to turn scots song into something only for the front parlour, something cleaned up and gentle. The music on this album is beautifully produced but sounds just like the music produced around the fires of a traveller caravan. The instruments are carefully arranged with fiddle, concertina, lowland pipes (a gentle sounding bagpipe far removed from the stridency of the highland pipes), tasteful acoustic guitar and the purest scots voice of Gordeanna McCulloch. Each song is a pearl with beautiful melodies even when not accompanied, her voice rings true. She hits every note with precision and sings with a craft that she has worked on for many years.

I cannot recommend this album highly enough. I should perhaps add a note of caution. If what you seek from this is Andy Stewart singing "Donald Where's Yer Trousers" then you will be sadly disappointed. If you don't like Scotch whisky because it's too strong or the waters of Loch Rannoch because they're too wet, then you may not like this record. But then what would you like that is pure?
