Dougie MacDougall of Alturlie and Special Friends (album)

Dougie MacDougall has been a well-know and well-respected figure on the Scottish traditional music scene around Inverness. He has waited until his 88th year to make this recording but it was well worth the wait as it is a great recording.

This album of 20 carefully selected tracks offers a great mix of tunes including jigs, reels, polkas, waltzes, marches and slow airs. It is very enjoyable listen in a real and straightforward Highland style that is getting very hard to find these days.

Some of the best Scottish musicians play with Dougie on this album Sandy Brechin, Bob McNeill, Gillian Stevenson,Richard Werner, Pete Brady, John Currie and many more.
