Canadian Bagpipes & American Brass
brings together
the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's) Pipes & Drums
with
the Third Marine Aircraft Wing Band of the United States Marine Corps
in a stirring set of
traditional
and patriotic melodies. Although both bands have solo tracks here, the best selections are when they combine forces.
"All the Blue Bonnets Are Over the Border"
and
"Flowers of the Forest/Mingulay Boat Song,"
performed by the two bands together, are particularly haunting. ~ Steve Leggett
