Podcast-FeedJohn Carnie: Far From Home
A treat for all fans of the accoustic guitar, the CD “Far from Home” features 12 tracks and 29 individual tunes of Scottish traditional music played in the flatpicking style on the guitar and showcases just what a powerful instrument it can be when playing jigs, reels and slow airs.
It is the first album of its type to feature entirely Scottish material on flatpicking acoustic guitar and covers the entire spectrum of Scottish fiddle and traditional tunes, adding a jazzy and bluesy twist to many of the compositions. Recorded at Castlesound Studios near Edinburgh the album celebrates the traditional roots of Scottish music and the acoustic guitar. It also features the jazzy double bass playing of Brian Shiels and some bluesy twists of long time cohorts, Dave Moir and Spider Mackenzie on guitar and blues harp.
