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!

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!!

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

After seeing them live in concert, i must say they are damn good. The Cd includes many celtic tunes with a mix of rock. They make this mix with a perfect combination, it's just a great cd and worth a buy. The fiddle and bagpipes add that essential highland style, with the rest of the band. They are amazing live and their cd is also amazing.
