GASON cd 737 - THE CELTIC BARD / ROBIN WILLIAMSON

The contents of this compilation CD is selected from several of Robin Williamson´s earlier solo albums released on Pig´s Whisker Music and on GottDiscs.

The pieces cover a wide spectre of this Celtic Bard´s storytelling, harp playing and incredible voice talent, so fascinating both to the ear and the mind of the listener and very much echoing from his years with the Incredible Stringband. Robin Williamson will keep up your attention for more than 78 minutes and when you return from this musical and fantasy journey you will be a richer person indeed.

All instruments (with one exception in one song) are played by the multi-master himself and Scottish harp tunes from 16th Century are mixed with the personalities of Williamson´s own material - all with the Celtic harp as a central voice.

All music and text by Robin Williamson
except 10,12,14,16 (16th Century Scottish)
