| | Kevin Crawford D Flute Album CD Kevin Crawford Discography of CDs
Crawford's mastery of a notoriously difficult instrument at such a young age is remarkable in and of itself; that he brings his virtuosity to bear on these tunes with such grace and so little unnecessary flashiness is even more so. He plays with the astringent, reedy tone favored by almost all Irish flutists, and his playing is so precise that at times it sounds almost programmed; he tosses off multiple ornaments as if it were as simple as breathing. His performances of old favorites like "The Sligo Maid" and "Toss the Feathers" bring new life to a sometimes tired-sounding repertoire, and when he switches to a bamboo flute to play "Green Fields of Rossbeigh" and "The New Policeman," one wonders at the fact that a musical tradition able to absorb the bouzouki without a problem has yet to take further advantage of that dark, sweet-sounding instrument. Crawford's bodhran playing is excellent as well. If there is any complaint at all to be made about this album, it is that the program's preponderance of reels leads to a certain homogeneity; a few more jig sets and slow airs would have been nice. (The album's one slow air is also the only Crawford composition, and it's absolutely gorgeous.) Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson Kevin Crawford D Flute Album Songs | 1. | George White's Favourite / The Sligo Maid - (reel) |

Taking turns on over a half-dozen varieties of stringed instruments, Robin Bullock fuses haunting textures borrowed from Native American and American West traditions with traditional Celtic, roots and old-time music. Sue Richards, Chris Norman, Steve Bloom and Myron Bretholz lend a helping hand. ~ John Bush
Hailed as "a master flatpicker" (SING OUT!), Robin is also one of a handful of masters of the cittern, a flat-backed double-strung instrument often called a bouzouki. He roams the musical landscape with a wide palette of skills, bringing his unique vision of influences to Celtic music. Hear a hard-driving flatpicker, a lyrical fingerstyle guitarist and an old-time swing fiddler, all in one. Robin Bullock is currently on the the "A" list of best acoutic fingerpicking and flat picking guitar players in the USA, and recently praised by Guitar Player Magazine "Whether flying solo or soaring with others, Bullock has an extraordinary command of timbre and dynamics. From shimmering harmonics to densely woven strands of counterpoint, his every note rings clear. Part of this is due to the transparent, airy recording, but it's Bullock's knack for arranging that lets each instrument shine so brightly. You can hear that he has dedicated years ...
