5 out of 5 stars It made me homesick for Edinburgh and I only spent 3 days there.......2005-09-21

I heard this CD while visiting friends in Edinburgh and went straight to their computer and ordered it so it would be here when I got home to the states. In three days I've listened to it at least 20 times. The melodies are haunting and happy and the harmonies are achingly beautiful. I will certainly order another of their CD's. Wish they would tour the Southeastern US. I think they would be appreciated here. They remind me of the folk groups of the 60s only better.

5 out of 5 stars I'll probably wear this CD out from playing it so much.......2003-11-14

I had never heard of North Sea Gas but went looking for a CD with the title song by a Scottish group. What a wonderful discovery -- this is -- as the Brits would say -- BRILLIANT! Very well done, great musicians, beautiful renditions of some great songs. Did I mention I liked it? If you like Scottish music as sung by groups, I think you'll really like this CD.

5 out of 5 stars IF YOU LIKE SOUL STIRRING MUSIC THEN THIS IS FOR YOU.......2003-06-07

Is is a great album but it includes some of the same songs on the other North Sea Gas CD'. Please check my Caledonian Connection review to find out how enthusiastic about this group. I am a 12 year long fan and I have all their CD's. Check this group out.
