![James Scott Skinner - The Strathspey King [CD]](COMD2084.jpg) | The name and the compositions of James Scott Skinner, the self-styled Strathspey King, are familiar to many throughout the music world. But how many have heard his playing? Skinner died in 1927 but his composition and playing live on in this recording, re-processed and de-scratched. Not just another fiddle album, not just another gentlemanly old composer, but an album of pride and passion.. and some astonishingly funky fiddle riffs too! An album befitting the man who not only performed fiddle airs, but also, in full Highland dress, a backwards somersault over a settee full of ladies! Try it; its an eye-opener! (Sos the album!) |
