5.0 out of 5 stars "Standing Alone" by Stevie Lawrence, April 6, 2003

This is a really great album, especially if one is a "double course" junkie (you like Irish Bouzouki). This is not the husband of Edie Gorme. Stevie Lawrence played in the Scottish band Iron Horse. He plays bouzouki, mandola, mandocello, mandolin, guitar, bass, hurdy-gurdy, low whistles, tiple, cittern, banjo and percussion. And he is good at all of them. The music ranges from traditional Celtic to modern jazz to Turkish bouzouki. Even if you don't like irish bouzouki one can't help but be impressed by Steve's playing and the music is really first rate. I am almost as old as the other reviewer but I really enjoyed this CD. If you are young or like Celtic music and have an open mind you will not be disappointed by this album.

Man, did my sinus clear out when I opened this CD. On the cover is a semi-abstract picture of a guitar, and "stevie lawrence" written across the top. On the back is a picture of said "stevie lawrence" with a full head of skin playing a guitar. In the fine print at the bottom it says the album was produced in Glasgow,Scotland. The titles of some of the songs are: "Psycho Magnet," "Hedgehope Hill," "Megajig Set," "Stobieside Lodge," and "Border Spirit." Oviously this is not a recording of Eydie Gorme's husband, but of someone of a similar name from the other side of the pond. I have not taken off the shrink-wrap to play this CD. I intend to return it to ... right away for a refund. But just by the titles, I can tell this is not the kind of album that would smoke the shorts of an old geezer like myself.
