Album Notes

One of Scotland's finest singing exports has re-recorded and brought up-to-date many of the standards in his repertoire, previously only available on cassette or LP. Produced and played on by Rich Brotherton of the Robert Earl Keen band, this is as fine a selection of Scots songs, old and new, as you'll find...all sung by a man with a voice "as smooth and satisfying as a good single malt." Accompanying musicians include Rich Brotherton, Brian McNeill, E.J.Jones, Cathie Ryan and Joel Guzman. Ed Miller is originally from Edinburgh Scotland; but has lived for many years in Austin TX, where he completed a PhD in Folklore at UT Austin. He has steadily built a reputation as a fine and compelling singer (as well as a teacher), bringing his songs and sly humor to Celtic Festivals, Highland Games, concerts, clubs and folk camps throughout N.America. In 2003, he was chosen as one of the performers to represent Scotland at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC, and has often share

REVIEWS

Great CD and performance.
author: Don Hutchison
Ed Miller is a Scottish singer/songwriter who produces great music, great stories, has great friends (some of the most famous in the Celtic vocal tradition), and a wonderful Scottish sense of humor. Unfortunately for us, he and other Celtic vocal performers seem to be a disappearing breed. The "vocal" tradition seems to be getting lost as most of the new young singers belong to "traditional" bands. The number of young, new traditional Celtic music bands (including the "Celtic rock" bands) is wonderful, but the passing of Tommy Makem, and the present ages of so many Celtic troubadours makes it alarmingly clear that there are few replacements on the horizon. This will eventually mean that the music and folklore of the songs will ultimately result in great losses of the traditions that are kept alive by the likes of Ed Miller, Brian McNeill, Davy Steele, Ian MacIntosh, Andy M. Stewart, Seamus Kennedy, Jim Malcolm, Tom Sweeney, and others who are products of the "house hooleys" and ce

Another Brilliant CD by the Master of Scottish Songs
author: Celtic MP3s Music Magazine
Ed Miller is back with a new CD, and I have to say it is brilliant. Ed is my absolute favorite Scottish folk revivalist. He brings together traditional folk songs while keeping the fire burning for the contemporary Scottish songwriters from Andy M. Stewart to Adam McNaughtan. This is the fifth CD of Ed Miller's, but it does something extra special. Ed originally released two cassettes that are no longer available. So he has recorded many of those great songs from those early albums and added them to this CD. Not having those cassettes, I've had trouble figuring which ones were there. This CD has many gems. I'd say my biggest disappointment is that it's too short. It Only has fifteen songs and over fifty minutes of music. I'm sorry to say, Ed, call me greedy, but I love your music. I want more! The trouble is trying to figure out which is the best. I love "Tak a Dram," "A Bottle of the Best," Yellow on the Broom," "Crooked Jack." He also does a moving version of Burns' "A Man's A Ma
