Album Notes

“ Great traditional material and contemporary writers. Both have enjoyable voices, instruments are well played, arrangements are nicely varied. An enjoyable recording!” Jle-Dirty Linen, Oct/Nov 1998

Description: Willson & McKee are two voices, guitars, hammer dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, Irish bouzouki, bodhran, FUN!!

We have added 4 bonus tracks from "The Pattern" CD...Slip Jigs and Reels, Old House Waltz,
Not Alone and Day of the Drover. Enjoy!!

Touring since 1990, this husband and wife duo blends breakneck instrumentals with warm harmony vocals, to weave a vibrant experience of texture and fun!
Curiously untamed… they simply don’t fit the expected Celtic mold. Tight harmonies give traditional songs a modern feel and original compositions are given an ancient twist.
A national award for instrumentals as well as International awards for song writing, guarantee a quality of purpose in the music.
All of the duo's recordings were done with the intent that a listener would get the same musical experience as in a Willson & McKee concert. No over production, tasteful arrangements, solid musicianship, and a connection with the music itself.
Please check the website for details on our awards, touring schedule, educational and performance programs, and how you can bring Willson & McKee to your community!
