A good selection of songs strongly sung with warmth in a full blooded style. Particularly effective on the opening "Mormond Braes" and "The Forfar Sodger" as well as Michael Marra's "When These Shoes Were New". Her singing is confident and strong and she makes the longer ballads all the more easily digestible by showing that she really cares. On this her debut solo album, Aileen sings some of her favourite songs and is accompanied by Maureen Jelks (additional vocals), Brian Kellock (keyboards), Iain MacInnes (pipes & whistle), Tony McManus (guitar), and Stuart Morison (fiddle, guitar, cittern & mandolin) who also produced the album.
Media Reviews
There was nothing to beat the full-blooded, attacking style of Aileen Carr, at her powerful, 'wha-daur-meddle' best
Customer Reviews
A compelling voice Ann Meiklejohn
'This is no ma plaid' has always been one of my favourite songs. Aileen Carr has a stunning version of it on this CD
