William Gillies Whittaker - Blow The Wind Southerly Folk Songs Pipe Tunes From The North Countrie
Review by Womyn's Centre
Blow The Wind Southerly Folk Songs Pipe Tunes From The North Countrie by William Gillies Whittaker is a delightful album that showcases the rich musical heritage of the North Countrie. The album features a mix of traditional folk songs and pipe tunes that are sure to appeal to fans of Scottish and Celtic music.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful title track Blow The Wind Southerly, which is a classic Scottish folk song that has been interpreted by many artists over the years. Whittaker's version is simple and understated, allowing the beauty of the melody to shine through.
Other highlights of the album include the lively pipe tunes The Athole Highlanders and The Glasgow City Police Pipers, which showcase Whittaker's skill as a piper. The album also includes several traditional folk songs such as The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond and The Skye Boat Song, which are performed with a gentle, understated touch that is perfectly suited to the material.
