by Catherine L. Tully
Artist: Prydein Album: "Loud Pipes (Save Lives)" Year produced: 2007 Rock meets Great Highland Bagpipes--or as the band enjoys--the phrase"Sham-rock." You'll find fun tunes here like "The $17 Red Head," and "NancyWhisky" -- all with a groove that is somewhere between both styles of music; Celtic and rock. The elements that define each style are present in varying amounts, but unmistakable from track to track. The band has both reverence for each genre and a sense of humor--both great qualities to have as people and as musicians. The last track, "Stairway to Scotland" has a tremendous sound and combines Amazing Grace with Scotland the Brave for a smashing tune--perhaps the best on the CD. Track 3, "Run Run Away" will bring a knowing smile for those who recognize the tune (and an even wider grin for those who recall the video!). The fun had on this album is apparent in the energy the musicians call forth as they play and the choices they made in selecting what to mix. You don't have to have seen them play to know that these guys have a really good time blending their sound together and learning from each other while they do it. Each style remains true, yet they are blended in a realistic and enjoyable way. Good stuff! Buy the Album: "Loud Pipes (Save Lives)" Catherine L.
