John Boyle – April 10, 2025

The Lea Rig is a prime example of the qualities on this CD. The theme is tenderly expressed while surrounded by crystal clear embellishments. The slower tracks are interpreted with much feeling and the lively tunes are played with impish clarity. An essential addition to anyone who loves the Scots musical tradition.
