This review is from: Scotland: Scottish Bagpipes & Drums (Audio CD)

This is a fun box set. Two of the disks ("The Bagpipes & Drums of Scotland," "Scottish Bagpipes & Drums") focus on pipe and drum core standards. It's kind of cheesy tourist stuff, with lots of familiar tunes. I love it! A few of the classics appear twice, such as "Skye Boat Song" and "Auld Lang Syne." This is not a bad thing. I will always have a soft spot for "Skye Boat Song," as it is the song my wife walked "Down the Isle" to. There are some nice versions of "Mist Covered Mountains (Chi Mi Na Morbheanna)," and that old standard "Scotland the Brave."

It is nice and rousing, the way pipe and drum core should be. Play it first thing in the morning for a pick me up.

The third disk, "Folk Music from Scotland," takes a different tact. It is pretty traditional Ceilidh music. The songs are a mix of instrumental and vocal. I had no idea there were lyrics to "Dashing White Sargent." These are very typical Scottish country dancing tunes that you will hear at any Ceilidh, both in the US and Scotland.

This is a boxed set, a boxed set of three other individual CDs. Unfortunately they mix and match these same CDs in several sets, so you need to check the track list to see where it might also appear. Only one out of three of these disks is worth having, and I already had two of that! I wouldn't recomend this set, look somewhere else and beware the boxed sets.
