Our Take

If Pitchfork Reviewed Bagpipe Music:

Robert Brown and Robert B. Nicol's "Masters of Piobaireachd Vol 3" is a mind-blowing journey into the world of traditional Scottish bagpipe music. Forget everything you thought you knew about bagpipes, because these two masters are here to show you a whole new side to the instrument.

The album kicks off with "The King's Taxes," a hauntingly beautiful tune that will transport you straight to the misty hills of Scotland. Nicol's expert piping skills shine through, while Brown's accompaniment on the piano adds a modern twist to this ancient art form.

Tracks like "Lament for the Children" and "The Battle of Aldestova" showcase the duo's incredible chemistry and technical prowess. Their seamless interplay is a testament to the years they've spent honing their craft, and it's truly a joy to listen to.

But it's not all serious business – there are moments of lightness and humour sprinkled throughout the album, like the cheeky rendition of "The Lament for Donald Ban MacCrimmon." These moments of levity help to balance out the more somber tracks, creating a well-rounded listening experience.

Overall, "Masters of Piobaireachd Vol 3" is a must-listen for any fan of traditional Scottish music. Brown and Nicol have truly mastered the art of piobaireachd, and their passion for the music shines through in every note. So grab your kilt, pour yourself a dram, and get ready to be blown away by this truly incredible album.
