Editorial Reviews

Seventh studio album for popular & successful Inverness folk-rock band, following 2000's live disc 'Not Enough Shouting'. Combining folk instrumentation (pipes, whistles, fiddles, accordion) with electric guitar, bass & drums, they inject Scots traditional music with the raw spirit of rock 'n' roll on another rousing collection of standards & original material. Once Bitten Records. 2002.

4.0 out of 5 stars An evolving band ,still going strong!, May 27, 2003

This review is from: Almost an Island (Audio CD)
With the departure of singer,Ivan Drever and the end of their association with Green Linnet Records, I really wondered if we had seen the last of 'ole Wolfstone...
Happily, they have returned on an indie label with a pretty good good effort...the lead vocal chores are nicely handled by Stuart Eaglesham, with strong background vocals by Duncan Chisholm, Wayne MacKenzie and Phil Cunningham.
That said however, what saves and really moves this disc are the instrumentals, which have never been stronger!
For this listener, the vocal tunes just don't click- plainly: they are weak!...hopefully the songwriting will get stronger with future releases and these guys can get their travel visa problems solved, returning to tour in the States soon!
Glad you are still rockin' Wolfstone!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS is the Wolfstone we've been waiting for!, December 10, 2002
By 
SGSWest (Moab, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Almost an Island (Audio CD)
I cannot say enough about the power of this cd. If you like heavy, yet intricate, Celtic rock, this album is a must. Not peppered with "pop" vocals or "off-theme" stuff as their last studio album was. I saw Wolfstone perform this album live in Colorado and they were totally into it! Get it and ENJOY!!

5.0 out of 5 stars "I can hear the coolest sound" (from Jericho), December 25, 2005

This review is from: Almost an Island (Audio CD)
this is a fantasic CD

the first 2 tracks "The Piper and the Shrew" and "Elav the Terrible" I think they're a single track divide to 2, war pipe+fiddle+loud guitar make these 2 tracks full of energy, morale, and power

"4/5 Madness" is kinda lead-in, go to the top, back to lower state, then end with smoothness

this CD is better than any product from GL, recommended for Wolfstone fans, it's a mix of Scottish+Pop+Celtic
