Though Ashley MacIsaac previously mined a rock-tinged Irish pub sound with his fine fiddle playing, he abandons that style altogether on this unabashed pop-rock effort. From MacIsaac's look on the inner sleeve (baseball cap, low-rider jeans) and the tough attitude of the music, it's clear he's going for an image change. He leaves his fiddle at the studio door for the first time in his career, and the instrumentation on PRIDE is instead straight-ahead rock: amped-up electric guitar, a pounding rhythm section, and MacIsaac's detached vocals shouting lyrics of angry heartbreak. The whole package makes for an adventurous approximation of contemporary hard rock.
Ashley MacIsaac is the original Celtic-punk and bad boy of World Music. The controversial out of the closet fiddle player from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia was taught to play the working-class, pub-stomp Cape Breton way: fast, furious, and with phenomenal precision. Alternately considered a rebel, taking the old fiddling conventions in newfangled directions they were never meant to go, or a champion, reforming and re-creating Celtic music with an updated, mass-appeal quality as seen on his genre-bending hit album Hi How Are You Today?, MacIsaac has unarguably put his own spin on the sounds he was brought up with. Pride offers the first real glimpse inside the mind of Ashley MacIsaac. It is his first album that was not created by studio re-mixers around instrumental flourishes of his trademark fiddle. In fact on Pride Ashley MacIsaac abandons his fiddle and emerges as a singer-songwriter and storyteller. It is a collection of poetic musings drawn from his extraordinary experiences, set to distorted guitar and lo-fi arrangements that have more in common with Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Beck than the traditional Celtic influences of previous albums. A true Celtic icon, the subject of a bestselling book and TV documentary, selling over half a million albums around the world, Pride is a bold step for an artist that has set the standard for artistic individuality, eccentricity and creativity.

"... An unqualified triumph of inspiration and musicianship." WOMEN TODAYMUSICIANS: BONNIE RIDEOUT with ERIC RIGLER AL PETTEWAY ;CHRIS CASWELL;ABBEY NEWTON;ROBIN BULLOCKMAGGIE SANSONE: Instruments they perform on are (in order of musician lista above:Fiddle, viola;Highland bagpipe, Uilleann pipes;Guitar;Wire-strung Celtic harp, pennywhistle, bodhran, snare and bass drums;Cello;Guitar, cittern;Hammered dulcimer BONNIE RIDEOUT LINER NOTES ( from the CD booklet):Dear Listener,It has been my desire to create a musical portrait honoring the contributions, great and small, that women have made to the Scots culture over the centuries. Most of the music is written by men who were inspired by women. The titles portray women of all social levels. They are not just lovers, but patrons, employers, connoisseurs, drunkards, and cheats. On the final track of the recording is an original piobaireachd (pibroch). I wrote it as a eulogy to Scots women who have passed on the legacy of honest hard work and pride in their own traditions: a legacy which has served to nourish the human spirit. 1 MRS. GUNNS STRATHSPEY/SWEET MOLLY/THE WISE MAID. The first strathspey is from John and Andrew Gow's collection of 1795. "Sweet Molly", also titled "Hopeton House" in Bremners Collection (mid 18th cent.), was later published in the "Skye Collection" (Edinburgh, 1887). The "Wise Maid" is popular in both Ireland and Scotland. Eric adds an eight bar riff on the pipes - one of those spontaneous indulgences that he and Al couldn't resist when the tape was rolling! (Fiddle, Uilleann pipes, whistle, guitar/Al, cello, bodhran) 3:27 2 MISS GORDON OF PARK/CRAIGELLACHIE LASSIES/THE HONOURABLE MRS. DRUMMOND OF PERTHS DELIGHT. The first two jigs, composed by William Marshall were published in a "Collection of Scottish Melodies, Volume 2nd" printed posthumously in 1845. Marshall often composed melodies for his patrons, and fashionable ladies were keen to have tunes named after themselves. He wrote the second tune for the lassies and for a famous bridge in Craigellachie, both of which he was grateful to have close by. A biographer of Marshalls once described how the composer decided which tunes to keep: "In the evenings he played his tunes to Mrs. Marshall, and what she condemned, he condemned, but when she approved, he immediately wrote ...
