5.0 out of 5 stars He makes each ballad an entirely new experience., 5 Feb 2000
By A Customer
Although I have heard the songs and ballads sung many times before, I have never experienced the same feelings as I listened to McKellarr sing on this CD. His voice seemed so much more expressive than I had previously realised and so 'musical'. He is never better than when accompanied by a single instrument which is how I remember him in his younger days. This CD is a must for anyone with a soul. It will plumb its depths as never before- and you will thoroughly enjoy the experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of Scotlands Finest, 4 Feb 2005
By George Cuthill (dunfermline, fife United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The versatile Kenneth McKellar sings much loved Scots songs like "Ske Boat Song", traditional songsfrom the North East of England "Dance to your Daddy"and great show tunes"Stranger in Paradise" from Kismet. All done in a style that made you proud to be, by association, a Scot. This is unbeleivable value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scottish folk singer with operatic voice, 25 Mar 2004
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Kenneth McKellar is something of a paradox, using his operatic tenor voice to sing traditional folk songs although (as his version of Stranger in Paradise shows – this is a duet with an un-credited female singer, possibly Moira Anderson) he was well capable of handling contemporary material.

Another unusual feature of his repertoire is that Kenneth also recorded plenty of English folk songs, represented here by Villikins and his Dinah, Sweet lass of Richmond Hill, Dance to your Daddy, Greensleeves, Last rose of summer and Rising of the lark. Less surprising is the inclusion of the Irish song, Danny boy. Kenneth manages to suppress his natural Scottish accent when singing English songs.

There are plenty of Scottish folk songs here beginning with My love is like a red red rose, for which Robert Burns wrote the words. He also wrote the words to Rantin' ravin' Robin, here re-titled There was a lad was born in Kyle. Another popular Scottish song is Ye banks and braes but by far the most famous traditional Scottish song here is the Skye boat song.

Very little of his music is available as I write this but this compilation provides a reasonable representation. Folk music sung in an operatic tenor takes some getting used to but you certainly won't mistake Kenneth McKellar for anybody else.
