Full of rich
vocal harmony, polished
pipes/fiddle/whistle and fret instrumental licks, musical theatrics and
their unmistakable pop/folk drive, this is well up to mature canine
standards,” so proclaims Norman Chambers (Scotland on Sunday) of the
Old Blind Dog’s new album. The band is definitely on the cutting edge
of Scotland’s roots revival. Dynamic percussion blends with border
pipes and whistle and a fine combination of guitar, cittern, mandolin,
and fiddle. Pair that with rich vocals and an exciting fusion of the
present and the past, and you can understand why the many tours in the
US have cemented them a huge loyal following. OBD is: founding member Jonny
Hardie from Aberdeenshire - fiddle, guitar,
mandolin, bouzouki,
backing vocals; Rory Campbell, born on the island of Barra, a
brilliant
young piper, playing the border pipes as well as low whistle; lead
vocalist and innovative multi-instrumentalist on bouzouki, guitar and
bass, newest member (born in Poole, England into a musical family from
Northern Ireland) Aaron Jones; and drummer Fraser Stone,
a Highlander,
is a specialist on African percussion.
