Review by Patricia Tomasi
Heather And Glen Songs And Melodies Of Highland And Lowland Scotland by Various is a delightful album that showcases the rich and diverse musical traditions of Scotland. Featuring a collection of traditional songs and melodies, the album captures the essence of Scottish culture and history.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Skye Boat Song," sung by the talented Heather Heywood. With her soulful voice and impeccable phrasing, Heywood brings the song to life, transporting the listener to the rugged landscapes of the Scottish highlands.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Loch Lomond," a classic Scottish ballad that has been covered by countless artists over the years, and "Auld Lang Syne," a beloved tune that has become synonymous with New Year's Eve celebrations around the world.
Throughout the album, the musicians demonstrate their virtuosity and versatility, seamlessly moving between lively dance tunes and melancholic ballads. The arrangements are tasteful and understated, allowing the beauty of the melodies to shine through.
