To mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns in Jan 2009, Scots singer Ed Miller has recorded 16 of the over 300 songs written or collected by Scotland's national bard.
Miller's voice is as rich as ever, and the songs are beautifully arranged and accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Rich Brotherton. Other great contributions are from Brian McNeill on fiddle and concertina, E.J.Jones on pipes and whistles, John Taylor on fiddle, Marty Muse on pedal steel guitar (there has to be a touch of Texas somewhere!) along with some gorgeous vocals from Karine Polwart. If you like traditional Scots songs well-sung and tastefully accompanied, this CD is a must.

Good News for Burns Fans
author: Don Hutchison
This is a great album! One of the things that makes an album good is the total content, not just one or a few good songs. Burns fans will be delighted with this entire compilation. Ed's smooth and mellow voice as well as his seemingly effortless movement into the phraseology of Burns writings shows a true "native" knowledge of a language that is almost impossible to imitate. The choice of songs is perfect and Ed's choice of fellow musicians is flawless. Great work!
