"The Road North is my favorite Alasdair Fraser CD. In fact, I think I would place it on my Top 10 Favorite Music list. It introduced me and my family to the soul of Scottish music and inspired both of my kids to buy violins with their own money and start taking lessons of their own volition. I thought my hair would be on ends to listen to two kids practising violin with all the screeches and scratches of learning, but when they are playing songs from The Road North, I am in bliss. Having never performed in public before and only starting lessons 10 months earlier, my son played Slow Train for his high school graduation ceremony to a packed auditorium. His hands were shaking but the notes of that wonderful song touched the hearts of many. I am grateful to this cd for its powerful inspiration. Even if you're not that into Celtic music, The Road North will find a place in your soul and in your music collection."
