Our Take

Album: BATTLEFIELD BAND - Quiet Days

Rating: 7.8

Ah, the Battlefield Band, those cheeky Scots who always manage to toe the line between traditional folk and modern innovation. With their latest offering, "Quiet Days," they continue to serve up piping hot tunes that are sure to get your toes tapping.

The album kicks off with the title track, a lovely instrumental piece that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's signature blend of fiddles, pipes, and vocals are on full display here, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

Tracks like "The Ballad of Tom Tranch" and "The Kilbogie Set" showcase the band's storytelling prowess, with lyrics that are as witty as they are poignant. It's impossible not to get swept up in the tales they weave, making you feel like you're right there in the Scottish highlands.

But it's not all serious business with the Battlefield Band. Tracks like "The Fife and Drum Set" and "The Ceilidh Jigs" are pure, unadulterated fun, with beats that will have you dancing around your living room in no time.

Overall, "Quiet Days" is a solid addition to the Battlefield Band's catalogue. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it's a fun and heartfelt listen that is sure to please both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. So grab your kilt, pour yourself a wee dram, and let the music of the Battlefield Band carry you away to the bonnie hills of Scotland.
