Fiona Ritchie, producer/host of NPR's nationally
syndicated weekly show The Thistle & Shamrock®,
invites you to discover 20 of her favorite
Scottish vocal and instrumental tracks. This
recording features a vibrant generation of
singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians
who through their own voices, tunes, and interpretations
are writing the next chapter in a tradition
that stretches back centuries. Scotland
the Real is an insider's view of
a vital part of the pan-Celtic revival, filled
with talented, creative artists who build
on the best of Caledonia's musical past to
forge the Scottish music traditions of tomorrow.
With every purchase comes documentation
that explains not just the sounds but their
circumstances -- their who, what, when and
why.
