Icannot believe that no-one has reviewed this amazing album before now,unless everyone,like me ,assumes that it has already received the highest possible praise.Gordon Gunn's techniques(sic)demonstrate a complete mastery of the fiddle from delicate pathos to pyrotechnics in a mixture of cajun meets traditional Scottish meets Grapelli via Kennedy!! Incredible fingering reminiscent of a circus trapeze artiste-just when you're sure he's going to crash to the ground he soars seemingly effortlessly to safety-the marque of true and natural talent.
On the album he is complemented by Phil Anderson and Billy Peace(brilliant musicians in their own right who need no introduction to traditional aficionados),with guests Ian Mackay andAndy Thorburn .
Ithoroughly recommend this recording,as someone who has been involved in the music business & as a player for many years,and await the next album with impatience.

Traditional With A Twist
11 May 2001
Format:Audio CD
This album represents the best of traditional Scottish fiddle--but with a twist. You'll find moving new compositions alongside offerings from the traditional Highland repertoire. The band is tight and the musicians literally play their hearts out. Two slow pieces--"Orkney" and "Slow Air for Margaret" moved me to tears when I was fortunate to hear Gordon Gunn and the band play live at a concert at Balnain House in Inverness in December 2000 and they are just as powerful on the recording as they were in person. Gunn has a rare gift with the fiddle and the other musicians keep right up with him. This is a beautifully balanced album; if you're a fan of the Scottish tradition, it's not to be missed.
