Raylene Rankin Lambs in Spring (CD)
Lambs in Spring is Raylene Rankin's first solo album. The album was recorded
at Inception Sound by acclaimed producer, Chad Irschick . Irschick produced the first four
albums for The Rankin Family. Lambs in Spring was recorded in Toronto and Cape Breton.
With Lambs in Spring, Rankin highlights her power as a singer in everything from the
touching ballad, "Scent of Roses", written by George Antoniak, to the lilting
Gaelic tones of "Cape Breton Lullaby", to the more pop-inspired,
"Highwire", written by David Francey. The album's title song, "Lambs in
Spring" was written by Rankin's late brother, John Morris Rankin. "Alasdair
Beag" is a lullaby written by Raylene Rankin, set to a traditional Gaelic tune.
Rankin wrote "Alasdair Beag" for her young son, Alexander.

Maybelle McQueen Chisholm - Pure Celtic Hearts
Vol 2 (CD)
For 25 year old Robert Deveaux, the journey is just as
memorable as the destination. Having lived and breathed Cape Breton's music scene as both
a performer and fan for 15 years, he has finally ventured into the studio.
"I guess some
might say I'm a slow learner," he smiles modestly. On the contrary, Deveaux's playing
has been described as strictly traditional, resembling the sounds and cuts of the Island's
old players. And this recording is no different. True to the tradition, Deveaux is
accompanied by renowned pianist Maybelle Chisholm McQueen and her son Brian Doyle on
guitar. The album is a sequel to Chisholms 2001 recording Pure Celtic Hearts.
"When we talked about doing a Pure Celtic Hearts Volume
Two, I thought long and hard about the sound I wanted and Robert's playing kept coming to
mind," says Maybelle. "He's a solid player, whos very true to the tunes
and that results in a very real and authentic sound." Growing up in the vibrant
Acadian community of St-Joseph du Moine along the Cabot Trail, Deveaux didn't find it
difficult to pick up the traditional fiddle music that has made the Island famous.
"Well, my grandfather plays and there were a lot of great players in Cheticamp, like
Arthur Muise and Donny LeBlanc who were a treat to listen to," says Deveaux.
"When I got older, I started going to dances and listening to the greats like Buddy
MacMaster and Theresa MacLellan. I just immersed myself in the music."
That immersion paid off. By the time he was 16, Deveaux was a
regular player at dances and concerts throughout the Island. After graduating École NDA
in Cheticamp, he attended lUniversite de Moncton for a year before transferring to
St. F.X. to complete his Bachelor of Arts degree in French. "The Celtic Society at X
was a great place to meet fellow fiddle freaks and learn new tunes. X was also a lot
closer to Cape Breton than Moncton," he said.
Upon graduating from St. F.X., Deveaux moved to Halifax,
where he spent five years playing music, teaching, bartending and selling real estate.
Three months ago, he moved to Sydney with his wife, Kelly, to pursue music full time.
Deveaux says his next project will be a recording of Acadian
fiddle tunes. "I just got back from St-Pierre et Miqulon a few weeks ago," he
says with his obvious French accent. "While there, I discovered mountains of tunes
that are strictly Acadian dating back 300 years. I love playing Gaelic Scottish tunes, but
Id also like to explore the lesser known French Acadian music that is a big part of
my heritage."

Dan Hughie MacEachern - The Land Of My Love (CD)
At the 2003 Celtic Colours Festival Show held in Glendale, 'Trip to Mabou
Ridge - The Legacy of Dan Hughie MacEachern' this new CD was officially released. I feel
very strongly that this CD is a part of Cape Breton's Fiddling History featuring Dan
Hughie as one of the last Gaelic speaking fiddlers/composers from Inverness County.
My mother and I have been wanting to produce this CD for over
10 years now and since Celtic Colours was honouring Dan Hughie's legacy, we decided now
was the time. This is not a money making venture but a dream of ours and a preservation of
culture to finally see Dan Hughie, who has been so respected as a performer and composer
for so many decades, to finally be featured on a recording. It is a one shot deal for us
and was a huge task to sort through and compile old reel to reel recordings of Dan Hughie,
to settle on the best tracks and to begin the incredible research of tunes and composers.
The CD has an amazing 34 tracks in all and came to be a double CD only because it was too
difficult to cut the project down to 74 minutes or less. (1 cd maximum length).
The CD features as accompanists Maybelle Chisholm MacQueen
(piano - 1961) Fr. John Angus Rankin (piano - 1970) Betty Lou MacMaster Beaton (piano -
1969) Fr. Angus Alex MacDonnell (piano - 1969 & 1970) yes the step-dancer! Kay
MacEachern Livingstone (dan hughie's sister, playing knitting needles - 1970) myself
(jackie Dunn MacIsaac- fiddle & piano tracks recorded august/2003)
I was unable to ever play either piano or fiddle with Dan
Hughie before his death in 1996 because his Parkinsons was so advanced that he could no
longer play but I was able to do so in the studio which was a treat! Kay's playing the
knitting needles was a definite highlight of the Glendale Show- she received a standing
ovation and she should for travelling from Rhode Island at the age of 94 for the Celtic
Colours show!!!!!! If you have not heard of anyone playing needles on the fiddle strings
as accompaniment this is the first ever CD to feature this incredible sound. It is one of
those lost traditions.

Troy MacGillivray
- Boomerang (CD)
The strength of the Scottish tradition can be found in the
hands of those who pass it on. While some artists may take this tradition in new
directions and others may remain close to their origins, all will find meaning by
returning to the source, like the boomerang returns to the hand...
It seemed fitting that the great Dan R. MacDonald jig,
Boomerang, be the title of this recording. I chose to remain close to my origins on my
second release and make a traditional recording. I hope all who listen will find the
comfort and meaning I experience in this music.
This CD is dedicated to those who travel to bring the
traditional Scotch music to new parts and to those who leave home to work. They eventually
return home to their roots because love of family, tradition, and music bring them home. -

Kinnon
Beaton - Eoghan Dubh (CD)
There's something about Kinnon Beaton's playing that works
against the idea of sitting still. Walk into a hall and watch him play for dancers. It's
something to do with timing and drive and swing. You hear the percussion of feet on the
floor. Arms around each other, neighbors and visitors, young and old, are lifted by the
music, and the beauty and power of Kinnon's playing carries everyone through those long
hot nights. For me, music just doesn't get any better than that, and judging from the
turnout at the dances, a lot of people agree.
Although the fiddle is thriving in Cape Breton these days,
that hasn't always been the case. In Kinnon's generation, not many young people took up
the instrument. By the early 1970's, some worried that the music might be disappearing.
But in Kinnon's family, the music was too profoundly rooted to decline. Both sides of his
family settled early in Mabou, one of the centres of Cape Breton's Gaelic culture. In a
community where the music seems always to have been celebrated, and in a culture where
people say that music is in the blood, it's almost as if Kinnon had no choice but to take
up the violin.
Kinnon grew up hearing the music at home, hearing his parents
play for the dances in the hall across the road, traveling to other dances and festivals
with them. Dan R. MacDonald, the great tune composer and friend of the music, lived for a
time just behind that hall, within shouting distance of the Beaton household, where he was
a frequent visitor. Kinnon's great friend, the late John Morris Rankin, lived nearby and
was moved by the same music. The two boys were among the only ones of their generation to
take to the fiddle. Elsewhere a few other members of that generation - Brenda Stubbert and
Jerry Holland come to mind - were doing the same. Without them, the music might have gone
away.
He and his music descend from Cape Breton pioneers. On his
mother's side, Eoghan Dubh MacEachen was born around 1768 in Scotland and settled in Mabou
early in the 1800's. On his father's side, Alexander "Alasdair an Taillear"
Beaton, arrived in Mabou in 1809. Kinnon's mother, Elizabeth MacEachen Beaton, is a
powerhouse of a piano player. His father, the late Donald Angus Beaton, was one of the
great dance fiddlers and composers of his era. Both sides of the family tree are loaded
with pipers, fiddlers, dancers, and piano players.
Those family ties and that community history are powerfully
present in Kinnon's playing. Like his father, Kinnon composes tunes, and this album and
its companion book present some of the hundreds he has written. Named for friends, family,
neighbors, and places, the tunes chronicle a life in music. Also like this father, Kinnon
has inspired and taught others. It's no surprise, given both sides of the family history,
that his daughter, Andrea, and his nephews, Glenn Graham and Rodney MacDonald, among
others, have made their way into the music, inspired by his playing. Today, he and his
wife, Betty, one of the island's great piano players, may be the busiest musicians. Betty
has her own distinguished family history in the music - she's Buddy MacMaster's youngest
sister, and Natalie MacMaster's aunt.
Here, then, is a recording of one of Cape Breton's favorites,
playing his own compositions. Betty's piano anchors many of the tracks. Andrea is here on
fiddle on a few selections. Other great players from a younger generation accompany on
others. Part of the album was recorded in a studio; some tracks were recorded during a
party with forty or fifty friends, family, and neighbors in the house.
Think, as you listen to it, about families and friends and
communities and history and hot nights in packed dance halls. Think about an extraordinary
place, where music joins cultural continuity and individual creativity. Don't think you
have to sit still.
Two tune books feature Kinnon's compositions, The Beaton
Collection, published in 2000, features more than 600 tunes composed by Kinnon, his father
Donald Angus Beaton, and his daughter, Andrea. And the newly published Cape Breton Fiddler
Kinnon Beaton's 100 Original Compostions presents his more recent tunes. Kinnon and
Betty's most recent CD is Saturday Night Lively. Kinnon and Betty can be heard playing for
dances in Mabou and Brook Village on The Heart of Cape Breton Fiddle Music Recorded Live
Along the Ceilidh Trail (Smithsonian Folkways Recordings). Andrea Beaton's recording,
License To Drive'er, showcases her music. And nearly the entire extended Beaton family
will be featured on a CD to be released in 2004 by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.

Ian MacDougall - From Foot Cape (CD)
FOOT CAPE is a rather funny name if you're not familiar with the area. The
name comes from being at the base (foot) of Cape Mabou, and the Cape Mabou is the mountain
that can be seen clearly from route 19, pretty much anywhere between Inverness and Mabou.
Foot Cape is located south of Inverness just past Strathlorne. Anyways, it is here where
Ian was born and raised. His parents are Donnie and Catherine. Ian was very fortunate to
have all of his grandparents living and residing on the same road. The MacDougalls were a
two minute walk away and the MacIsaacs were about a fifteen minute walk the other way. The
fiddle Ian plays, was given to him by his grandfather Donald MacDougall. The fiddle was
one of many purchased at Eaton's years ago for six bucks. Donald never played himself. In
fact, there was an old man that used to visit at the house who was able to play a bit so
he told Donald that if he would buy himself a fiddle, he would teach him to play. Donald
saved for a long time, (six bucks was hard to come by those days) and when he had enough,
he sent for the fiddle. Finally, after a long time had passed, the old man came back to
the house and was handed the brand new fiddle. He sat back and played it for a while and
when he was done he said "That's a good fiddle" and put it away. Donald asked
him, "Aren't you gonna teach me?" and the old man replied, "Oh no, I just
wanted to hear what a new fiddle sounds like." Needless to say Donald never really
learned and the old man never came back again. Ian's grandfather, Angus D. MacIsaac was
able to play, so at each visit there would be a few tunes played. There was a lot of
visiting done then, and after hearing and seeing the music played so often, it wasn't long
before Ian began to take an interest. Angus would sometimes get him to play the bow on the
strings for little parts of tunes and other times Ian would pretend with kindling sticks.
At age eight, Ian was able to scratch out a couple of tunes, namely, One Hundred Pipers,
and Cock of the North. Seeing the interest Ian had, his parents decided that it was time
to get him going with some lessons. It was his cousin, John MacDougall that would be the
man for the job. John gladly accepted and sent Ian home with a 3/4 fiddle and his first
lesson. Pretty near every Sunday for ten years thereafter, Ian and his father would go to
John's for lessons, a visit, and tea, and not once would John accept any money for his
time. Ian is now (at the time of this recording) twenty-two years old and said to be one
of the most sought-after dance players in Cape Breton.

Brenda Stubbert - Music All Around (CD)
Brenda Stubbert is one of those rare musicians who has that little something
extra, an undefinable flair. Brenda was never formally trained but rather she was nurtured
mostly by the live music in and around the family home at Point Aconi. She started dancing
at about age five and then moved on to the piano.....Brenda quickly showed natural talent
on the piano and it wasn't long before her father, fiddler Robert Stubbert, encouraged her
to become a piano accompanist and to learn more melodies...It wasn't long before Brenda
started to take interest in learning the fiddle. Her father was always there to help her,
and to this day he continues to be her main influence. At age ten, when Brenda started the
violin in earnest, she already knew dozens of tunes by ear on the piano. The sound of Cape
Breton fiddle music was rooted deeply inside her. It didn't take long to catch on...Brenda
has never stopped learning and composing. Throughout her career her repertoire has been
supplimented with newly composed tunes. In her twenties Arthur Muise and Jerry Holland
were both important influences. In recent years visits with Cameron Chisolm have inspired
her further. Over half of the tunes on this recording were learned within the last couple
of years...Both the repertoire and style presented on MUSIC ALL AROUND demonstrate
Brenda's connection to the older traditions of Cape Breton Island. This recording is
Brenda's tribute to the great musicians, past and present, who continue to inspire her.

Natalie MacMaster Blueprint (CD)
Bluegrass and Celtic music are close cousins, with shared roots dating back
several hundred years. Natalie has enlisted some of the world's top bluegrass
pickers-including Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer and Alison Brown for
her latest album, BLUEPRINT. Also featured on the album are some of Natalie's band
members, Brad Davidge on Guitar and Matt MacIsaac on Bagpipes and Whistles, along with
several fellow Cape Bretoners.
With Blueprint, Natalie is once again pushing the boundaries
for traditional music, fusing her brilliant Cape Breton fiddling with the sounds of Banjo,
Dobro and Mandolin, as played by the cream of America's bluegrass community.
"Alison Krauss was the artist who first got me listening
to bluegrass music," recalls MacMaster.
"With this album, maybe I can do the same thing and
attract people to traditional Cape Breton music."
"MacMaster has reached a level of visibility and musical
success that only a few of her traditional-music contemporaries have achieved
a
confident bandleader, a versatile fiddler, an electrifying step dancer, and, above all, a
performer who definitely knows who to work a crowd." -- Michael Parrish, Dirty Linen
