Album Notes

A radical departure from traditional Celtic recordings, Thistle represents Scott Boswell's first all original CD. If your looking for traditional Celtic music this may not the CD for you, instead try Scott's first release "Jug of Punch". Bluesy meanderings on mandolin, slide guitar, flutes and whistles bring a new flavor to Celtic inspired music. With vocals on only one song (Island), Thistle is a sonic landscape painted with bold strokes. The title track and Samurai Cosmonaut take a journey into visual realms, while tracks like Mulled Wine and Mockingbird take a more progressive folk approach. Betsey K. in Knoxville Tn says "love the music! WOW!", You should check it out.
