Scottish Tradition, Vol. 6: Gaelic Psalms From Lewis

Liner Note Author: Morag Macleod.
This is one in an enormously valuable series of the Real Thing among all the Celtic revivalries. The superb psalmody of the Isle of Lewis is a true Celtic idiom. At the same time it's the last surviving example of a slow, decorated folk church style once common throughout the U.K., which travelled to the U.S. and became part of the roots of the African-American spiritual. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
