Masterful performances of traditional tunes

"Bain states that this is his "first recording devoted entirely to fiddle music since 1984." The playing on this CD is masterful, and the accompaniment tasteful. The 13 selections and medleys are drawn from a wide variety of traditional sources. Bain describes them as "just tunes that I like and have happy memories about." Few of the pieces are likely to be immediately familiar to the average listener, but they are well chosen to show off the performer's talent, and extremely listenable. The haunting title tune was learned by Bain at a music festival in Finland. It will probably stay with you."
