5.0 out of 5 stars What a pawky, sharp-eyed folk-genius Matt McGinn was. 19 Jan 2001

By bengtsson@bsi.fr

Format:Audio CD

Matt McGinn's view of folk in Glasgow during his life-time is unsurpassed. His pawky, sharp-eyed vignettes (Bingo Bella, Gallowgate Calypso)don't present a cosy picture of the City, but are funny rather than cruel because of the affection that comes through. No matter how often I listen, these and many of his other songs (Dundee Ghost, Rob Rot McGregor) make me laugh out loud. A few of the songs are not brilliant (Little ticks of Time) and one or two, like (the Road to Aldermarston) might mean little to people any more, but most reflect his genius. Coorie Doon is still as touching as the first time I heard him sing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A man of great words 18 Jun 2010

By D. Murray

Format:Audio CD

This is a great collection of Matt's work, from political to humourous and verging on traditional. Needs to be listened to several times as there are layers to each song. Reminiscing, yes, but there is nothing wrong with that. Buy it, listen to it and enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matt McGinn (Best of) CD

Another good CD, interest to me as he was a local folk singer whose music I've recently been introduced to.
