Brings the Corries to life
Perhaps you only know the Corries through "Flower of Scotland".This CD includes an excellent live version of what is now Scotland's de facto national anthem; but much more. The CD is two very different albums that help explain The Corries in a musical and historical context.
The first album was recorded live in Edinburgh (date unspecified). It displays the Corries' musical inventivenes and genuine skill, highlighting Roy Williamson's unique, bittersweet vocals, set against a rapport with an enthralled audience. The second is a 1969 recording of traditional Scottish ballads that shows their passion to enjoy and develop their own cultural traditions and present them to a wider audience.
Through both albums one can begin to understand the parallel and symbiotic relationship between a rise in Scottish cultural self-awareness, and a demand for more political autonomy, in which The Corries have had a signifcant role. When they began recording in the 60s, neither Scottish culture or nationalist politics were fashionable. The popularity of "Flower of Scotland" is a sign that both have become so.
Corries In Concert/Scottish Lovesongs
I felt this CD was described in a misleading way. The picture implied there were 2 CDs when in fact there was one. I emailed to enquire and was sent another copy which I did not ask for and I had to return one. My enquiry could have been answered by email and saved me and them time.
However I am enjoying listening to the CD.
