TROY MacGILLIVRAY - Boomerang TROLLEY-02 | ||||
Right from the start,
this is powerful music and no mistake. Fiddler and pianist Troy MacGillivray
kicks off with one of his own tunes, and follows through with a medley
of strathspeys and reels from the Scottish and Irish traditions, including
high-energy classics Lady Anne Montgomery and The Bonnie Lass of Fisherrow,
the driven bow backed up by great Cape Breton piano. With the introductions
over, Troy sticks to piano for two tracks: more strathspeys and reels,
and a set of Dan R MacDonald jigs played as they should be, with guitar
accompaniment this time. The title tune Boomerang ends track three in
excellent style. Back to the fiddle for a march, strathspey and reel set,
ending with an electrifying change of pace into Steve Cooney's Gone Skidooing
and Jerry Holland's Reel For Carl: young Troy has taste as well as talent.
