Customer Reviews:

A fine mix of good music.......2003-08-03

These songs were obviously recorded in Dougie's earlier years -- his voice is very obviously younger in several of the recordings, to absolutely MARVELOUS effect. "Johnny Teasy-Weasel" (which seems to have been written with the intention that it be sung by a woman, but that is neither here nor there) and "Leis a Lurigan" (a grand piece about sailors, if you go for that sort of thing, which I do) are two of my favourites, both playful and upbeat. "Rolling Home" is a very touching piece of work (Dougie's own, of course) and "Northern Cowboy" is a song with a message strung into brilliantly-composed music and lyrics. All in all, this is most definitely the best, in my opinion, of all the Dougie CDs you can buy. Probably the best investment I've ever made.
