Product Description

Description
This 1992 follow-up to NEW SPRING is as compelling as its predecessor; with the exception of up-tempo reels such as theopening "Captain Lachlan MacPhail of Tiree", and Highland pipe dances such as "Rocking the Baby", the musical atmosphere is plaintive and subdued. In part, this reflects the album's subject matter.
Original songs by vocalist and keyboardist Alan Reid and fiddler John McCusker address Scotland's social issues and tales of the working class, as in "The River", a dark evocation of the coast's empty shipyards, and "Close It Down" an indictment of Ravenscraig's closed steelworks industry. The record's serious themes are weighted by equally serious musicianship, especially McCusker's fiddle work(as on the lovely "Dalnabreac"), and Iain McDonald's mastery of the hypnotic Highland pipes on such tunes as "Mo Dhachaidh". The Band is also well known for including the odd contemporary composition, and the entry here is a straightforward Scots folk treatment of Richard Thompson's moving "How Will I Ever Be Simple Again". While not their definitive recording, QUIET DAYS offers a hushed, socially conscious take on the brand of Celtic traditionalism for which the BattlefieldBand is revered.
