C3LT4.TR4D? I think all lovers of Scottish folk and Celtic music in general have busily searched this album in thrift stores for years... I was not lucky enough to find the original but at least now I can enjoy it. Thank you so much 😁

muirnin1988 I've always wanted to have a copy of this album but did not buy the cassette or LP because I don't have a high fidelity system to listen to the records, so the digital album is a great opportunity to explore this very first recording of Capercaillie in the year 2020! i'm a big fan of Capercaillie & Karen's lovely voice :) thank you! Favorite track: An Eala Bhan.

Stallis Excellent to be able to hear this again. I still have my original cassette version, purchased in around 1991 in Oban. Not sure it’ll play anymore! Many thanks for the digital version.

Madstop The first (baby) is and always will be something special :-)

Waterman's Live EP

Today's god like genius award goes to Michael McGoldrick for this live EP, although, to be fair, he probably qualifies most days for that particular award. I've heard these tunes a couple of times before but they sound better than ever here. Brilliant 👏 festivalfolkie

DAWN
by Talisk

supported by 13 fans who also own “Cascade”

Dystopia was my introduction to Talisk when the live version of it was out on youtube. Between the energy and life not just by the music itself, but the people playing it being so engrained into the songs themselves, Talisk has become a foot-stomper, and an absolute jam of a band to put on full volume. ladyoforion

Great Scottish band! The addition of guests like Duncan Chisholm-fiddler extraordinaire- and Julie Fowlis-an authentic voice of Scotland- make it perfect. dardar1126
