Hugh Morrison - Robert Burns Rocks

Hugh Morrison is best known for his accordion playing, but here he adds his rough edged vocals to provide contemporary versions of Robert Burns songs. With drums, bass and electric guitar on some tracks it is a far cry from Kenneth McKellar [thank god]. This is a great release with Burns Night almost upon us] to be played in any pub… with ballads, foot stomps, and of course some fine sing-a-longs. Joining Hugh are Boston’s Street Dogs, Johnny Rioux and Marcus Hollar plus seasoned Celtic performers, Banchory’s Scottish Golden Fiddle Champion Judi Nicolson and from Virginia, Kendall Rogers. Houston’s Celtic Rockers Murder the Stout contribute with first class Bass & Drums from Jay Brooks and Andy Salmon respectively.
