What I'm Listening To #49

After a busy week, "Dougie MacLean Live" is just what any doctor is their right mind would order! I first encountered this Scottish Folk Artist via NPR's Celtic Connections. I attended an amazing concert he gave back in 1985 in Lexington Kentucky held as a fund-raiser under the auspices of the first NPR affiliate in the United States, WBKY. It was just a wonderful concert, intimate, community building, joyous -- fun.

I own all of the artist's CD's. Nothing he does in the studio compares to his "Live" recordings, and this one in particular.

If you've a penchant for, nay, even just an inkling toward, the lylt and rythym of the Celtic/Gaelic ballad--you'll love this experience.
