Occasionally a new traditional music recording really stirs my soul -
Lucky me to get a copy of Brian Pickell's new CD . The recording
consists of mainly Canadian style fiddle tune arrangements and a couple
of songs as well. I can't say enough about how incredibly good this
recording is in so many aspects - superb musicianship all around, great
arrangements, and absolutely wonderful tunes, well recorded. - I thought
that some of these tunes must be traditional, but no Brian composed the
entire works! The tune melodies are really catchy - with interesting
hooks that become unforgettable. I find myself doodling some of these
tunes in my head off and on during the day. There is a mega waltz medley
that is worth the price of the CD alone, and there is a lot of music on
the recording - 33 of his own tunes, played by 20 musicians, including
10 superb fiddlers. The music is all original material, but I have no
doubt that a lot of it is destined to stand the test of time and become
part of our Canadian traditional music culture for the ages.
Congratulations Brian! He is having his CD release concert at the
Flying Cloud Folk Club (The Tranzac Club) on Oct. 20th. In Toronto. I
urge all trad music lovers to come out and hear for yourselves his new
and wonderful music.
Cheers, Arnie Naiman
