Editorial Reviews
Traditional and boisterous is virtuoso fiddler and Scottish fiddle champion Bonnie Rideout. She balances the dramatic showmanship of rants and reels with more delicate, charming pieces. Scottish Rant covers the breadth of Scottish passion and is an excellent exhibit of Rideout's talents. ~ Tom Schulte, All Music Guide

Excellent CD for piping and celtic music enthusiasts,

This review is from: Scottish Rant (Audio CD)
The quality of playing and the diversity of instrumentation are some of this CD's greatest strengths. While it's not fair to compare this to a pure pipe and drum recording, it does have exceptional sound quality as far as pipe and drum recordings go. Too often, such recordings suffer from poor balance or tones that are either too tinny or too muted.
Bonnie Rideout's playing is always impressive - check out her other recordings if you haven't already. She gives the music a sensual quality that it would otherwise lack. She also has a fiery intensity that combines nicely with the pipes. If you like percussion, you will appreciate this CD. The drumming is an interesting blend of traditional pipe and drum drumming with marching snares, bodhran and dombek. The drum break, Captian Chops, is a particular treat, combining marching snare drums with the traditional ensemble of pipe drumming. The more common traditional songs benefit from original arrangements, and they are still great songs despite their popularity. If you like both pipe and drum music and celtic music, you will most certainly like this CD.

we need more rants!,

This review is from: Scottish Rant (Audio CD)
my good fortune put me in Wash,DC on saturday, saw the concert poster, and went. The Masonic Temple was a perfect setting for such fun,foot tapping music. The award winning Pipe band is something we can be proud to represent America. Watching the flurish drummers twirl the drum sticks adds to the great pipe music. Then to listen to Bonnie fiddle, accompanied by her drummer and guitar player for several tunes was wonderful. The end of the concert featured the The Pipes and Bonnie. The CD is this music since you missed the concert.

Simply the finest single album of bagpipe music I've every heard. The amazing thing is they're even better live!
