James Scott Skinner - The Strathspey King
by James Scott Skinner
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. James Scott Skinner has a formidable reputation as a player, composer or arranger. He is considered by most to be the epitome of the classic style Scottish fiddler. Technology and of course Temple Records allow us to hear him now in all his glory and there's no doubt that he was a player of amazing skill and awesome virtuosity. 22 tracks, great sleevenotes.
