(4 out of 5 stars)

"A collection of Scottish music, generally in a lighter vein than that in "All the Best From Scotland," vol. II. Most selections are vocal, with Andy Stewart performing 15 of the 20 tracks. Several selections are comical, with one, "The Rumour," performed as an oral poetic presentation. An interesting comparison can be made between the "Maggie" of Andy Stewart in this volume and that of Sydney Devine in vol. II. Stewart's rendition is more lyrical, performed with more musical flair, while Devine more nearly captures the heart and soul of the song. This distinction typifies the style differences between these two volumes. A delightful collection for lovers of Scottish music."
