Ranging from wistful to wildly exuberant, this second album by Alasdair Fraser and Paul Machlis has a new cover to celebrate it's tenth year as one of the most acclaimed Celtic fiddle albums ever! Featuring original pieces and improvisations along with traditional Scottish tunes with bassist Glen Moore (Oregon), Michael O'Domhnaill, (Nightnoise) guitar, and Tommy Hayes on percussion. From the plaintive, ancient Gaelic melodies that become indelibly imprinted in memory after just one listening, to the exuberant Highland reels and jigs that nearly compel the body to dance, The Road North is a dazzling testimony to a unique blend of timeless musical heritage with creative, contemporary musicianship.
