Synopsis

Album Description

This CD is a collaboration between Irish fiddler, Kevin Burke, and guitarist/composer, Cal Scott. For over 30 years, Kevin?s been well-known in Irish music both as a soloist and as a member of The Bothy Band, Patrick Street and The Celtic Fiddle Festival. Cal Scott, of Oregon?s Trail Band, has played in folk, rock and jazz groups for three decades; recorded and produced over 20 CDs; and composed music for many films including over 30 PBS documentaries. Across the Black River features Johnny B. Connolly (accordion) from Bridgetown, Michael McGoldrick (flutes) from Capercaillie and Phil Baker (bass) from Pink Martini. As well as beautifully crafted interpretations of traditional tunes, Across the Black River includes an air written by Phil Cunningham in remembrance of his brother, Johnny, the famous Scottish fiddler.

CD Reviews

Great duet!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Kevin Burke has never sounded better than on this first outing on his own record label. Cal Scott joins him on guitar through predominantly, though not exclusively, Irish traditional tunes played the Kevin Burke way. Both contribute some original tunes that fit comfortably together in this inspired mix. Scott is the real surprise here; he accompanies Irish tunes just fine. Some tunes include well-known guest musicians to provide extra texture to a tune with flute, button accordion, or electric bass. If you're a Burke fan already, you should like this CD. If you don't mind tasteful variations tossed in among your Irish traditional music, you'll like this. All instrumental, played by masters."
