Product Description

CD Description
Although a fair number of musicians have passed through itsranks-with only keyboard player Alan Reid remaining from the original lineup-the Battlefield Band could be forgiven fortaking it easy this far into its career. Indeed, at first hearing, the five songs contained herein may sound a little mellow. Fortunately, repeated playing reveals them to be finely polished gems.
"One More Chorus" celebrates the hecticlifestyle of an Edinburgh pub band. Many of the songs are imbued with melancholy, whether the subject is the passing ofthe era of plough horses ("Last Trip Home") or a young man pre-empting the closure of his job and taking his sweetheartback to his home town and an uncertain future ("The Pleasure Will Be Mine"). The tunes, of course, are instantly appealing, as befits a band famed for its multi-instrumental prowess. The title tune, introduced on fiddle and piano, with thecaptivating addition of bagpipes midway through, is especially beautiful.
This CD includes 4 short extracts of tracks from other group/solo albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet, 8 Sep 2000
By bob (uk) - See all my reviews
The Battlefield Band have been around for more than 25 years and only one of the original members is left. But throughout all that time, the descendants of the original band have remained true to the recurrent themes of the music. The newest fiddler is John McCusker who was voted The Scotsman's young musician of 1999. Watching him on stage is amazing with energy and skill which overflows into the audience. The CD is a good representation of the show and brings back the pleasure of having seen the band live. The lyrics are sometimes funny and often wistful, and always written so the audience can identify with them.
