Title: Worth buying, but not their absolute best
Product review: If you're already a fan of this wonderful Scottish group, then buy this album and don't look back. You won't be disappointed. I don't, however, recommend it for someone unfamiliar with the band, as I just don't think it showcases them in their best light. It's good, but it just doesn't have the "wow" factor of some of their previous releases such as "Nadurra," and I don't know if the jazzy direction they're going in really suits them. The instrumental tracks, especially, seem to suffer from it. On the other hand, however, they include some beautiful ballads ("Little Do They Know" and "I Will Set My Ship In Order") that truly show off Karen Matheson's voice, and I am glad to see the return of the syncopated "puirt-a-beul" singing after its notable absence from "Nadurra." Overall good listening, though.
