"Don't buy this CD if the thought of hearing traditional bagpipe melodies accompanied by piano and guitar makes you cringe! Not much of this CD is pure pipes, or even pipes and drums for that matter. This CD might be for you, though, if you don't mind the sound of other instruments with the pipes. Some of the selections are hard to find anywhere else."

"If you love truly love pipes anytime, anywhere, even when they are consorting with the other lowly instruments played by man, then you will be moved by this CD. From the breaking surf at the beginning with faint tones of pipes coming to you across the open shore to the final track you will be stirred, uplifted, and glad you bought this one. For purists who only tolerate drums with their pipes, you have severely limited your pleasures in life but I understand. Pipes alone bring tears of joy immediately, this CD did admittedly take half of the first track of 'Morning Has Broken' but the feeling is so wonderful from then on that I may annoy my spouse with the play time of this CD in the next few days. The quality of the CD is excellent and you cannot say the pipes are lost in the other instruments. For those who decide to buy this one, pleasure awaits you."
Rob Crabtree is a great piper!

"This is a very relaxing CD. Rob Crabtree has done another great job at recording his piping skills. The additional insturments flow nicely with the tunes preformed. If your looking for Pipes and Drums (Pipe Band Music) this is not for you. If your looking for a flawless solo piper, Bingo, get this CD! Good set of traditional tunes, but Amazing Grace could have been left off. It's on almost every piping CD. Great ending tune "Going Home"."
Excellent CD..
