DOUGLAS MONTGOMERY & STEWART SHEARER - Crossing Warness Attic Records ATCD062 | ||||
This is the sort
of music that gave the fiddle a bad name in religious circles. Listening
to Douglas Montgomery drive into The Trip to Windsor or chassay languidly
through The Blue Reel, it's easy to believe that the devil is playing
along. And maybe there is something supernatural about a man who can bend
his bow to Scott Skinner or Swamp Fever with equal ease, as well as writing
his own tunes in several styles. Orkney man Douglas Montgomery has his
fingers in many musical pies. He's half of Saltfishforty, one of the Silver
Penguins, and here he's teamed up with Orcadian guitarist Stewart Shearer.
Between them they've composed about half the material on this CD, and
they play nine instruments, leaving hardly any need for guest musicians.
