Review

Old Blind Dogs may flirt with modern harmonies and ethnic percussion on Fit?, but when they sing an old Robert Burns song like "Is There for Honest Poverty" in their thick Aberdeen accents, you know they are traditional Scottish musicians to the core. The Dogs mix old ballads like "Awa' Whigs Awa'," an 18th-century anti-British song, and "Reres Hill," which they perform with a Pentangle-like jazzy folk feel with lively sets of dance tunes like "Black-Haired Lad" and "Country Girl." The jigs and reels have a light, airy feel thanks to piper Rory Campbell, who eschews the more familiar Highland war pipes in favor of the smaller Border pipes, which have a softer, gentler tone. On Fit?, an expression of disbelief in their local Aberdeen dialect, Old Blind Dogs continue the tradition of high-energy playing and intensely felt singing that have made them one of the most popular contemporary Scottish folk groups. --Michael Simmons
