5.0 out of 5 stars This group keeps getting better!, January 8, 2001

This review is from: The Pictou Sessions - An Acoustic Album (Audio CD)

While I liked "The Factory", especially the song "Twelve", this album is far superior. The first Seven Nations concert I attended was shortly after "The Factory" album came out and they blew me away. These guys bring the house down at every Live Concert they do. I purchased this album at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, when it was still in pre-release. That night I heard the songs live before ever hearing them recorded. The album is just as good as it was live! Dan really rocks on the fiddle and doing his Celtic dancing on stage is impressive. You can FEEL the emotions that went into these recordings...all the tunes come from the heart. These guys are probably the most talented musicians I have heard, both in writing and performing. If you like bagpipes, fiddle, or just good Celtic music, you must purchase this album!

I saw these folks perform at the Richmond (Va) Highland Games this past weekend... After hearing them play "Scream" and "All You People" I was hooked. I bought this CD without knowing anything else about this music. I was not disapointed. Trust me when I tell ou that a fiddle and the bagpipes fit in perfectly with rock and roll.

If you like quality music that will stir your soul, listen to this.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need to hear these guys..., July 15, 2004

I saw 7N live for the first time last September at the Irish Fest in Albany, NY. They absolutley blew me away. I was mainly there for the beer, and to catch Hair of the Dog later that night, but I got a tip from a friend who told me to check these guys out. The bagpipes gave me chills, and the energy was unbelievable. This CD is on repeat in my car, but like everyone says, you need to see them live. It's truly an unbelievable experience. I'm flying out to Cleveland this summer to catch them again.
