Search - Donald Black :: Bho m' Chridhe (From My Heart)

Scottish Celtic Harmonica player Donald Black is firmly established as 'the instrument's foremost exponent in Scottish Traditional Music' (Scotland on Sunday 02-03-08). With his own unique style and mastery he has almost single-handedly given the harmonica a new respect and acceptance as a significant part of the Scottish Traditional Music scene. Drawing his repertoire mainly from Pipe and Gaelic material of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Donald also incorporates influences from mainstream Scotland, Ireland, the Shetland Isles and Cape Breton (Nova Scotia). Bho m' Chridhe (From My Heart) is Donald's 5th album. Co-produced with Ross Wilson, one of the crop of young up-and-coming Celtic musicians rapidly making a name for himself, the album features a stellar line-up of guest musicians, including: Malcolm Jones, multi-instrumentalist with legendary Scottish Celtic Rock Band Runrig; Nashville's famous award-winning multi-instrumentalist Charlie McCoy ("the most recorded harmonica player in history"); Alec Dalglish (Skerryvore); Allan Henderson (ex-Blazin' Fiddles); Donnie MacKenzie and Martainn Skene (from The Donald Black Band); Mario Collosimo (Cape Breton, Novia Scotia); Andrew MacPherson (Deoch An Dorus); Addie Harper Jnr. and more - all adding great texture and feeling to this excellent, well chosen collection!
