Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Sit down and listen to "Stand Easy"!.......2002-08-21

Loved this CD from John Allan of the L.A. Scots Pipe Band. I especially liked the first track, "Dark Island/Bulgarian Bandit" and his rocked-up version of "Amazing Grace". And the McCallum Bagpipes sound terrific! Colin Armstrong, George Cavanaugh and the Browne Sisters also sing on the CD...but I agree with another reviewer - John should have sung every song. Great voice, great pipes. John wrote half the tunes, including "Johns Jig Set," which the LA Scots Pipe Band played at the World Pipe Band Championships. Can't wait to hear the next CD.

5 out of 5 stars John Allan breathes life into the tradition, and the pipes!.......2002-07-25

In the spirit of other great bagpipe/rock bands such as Brother, John Allan has delivered a great CD. His brilliant bagpipe playing meshes the ancient traditional folk music sound of that instrument with a modern rock and roll sensibility. John's skill on the rock guitar is also very evident throughout the tracks. Not since Van Morrison has anybody done such a fine job on "Star of the County Down", a song John's voice does great justice. Although the guest singers on this CD are very good, after hearing John's voice on the tracks he sings, I wish he had done them all. I would highly recommend this CD to all Celtic rock fans, and to anyone else who simply loves good music. Rock on, you mad piping crazy man!
