Anyone else like them? Not all their songs are best lyrically, but some of the stuff is great. If you do like them, which 'version' do you like the best?

Do they howl at nothing in particular?

There are three kinds of people- those who can count, and those who can't.

I reckon you've never heard of them.

My neighbor has one, and that what he does.

Theognome

Here they are playing Glenlogie from a long time ago.

Cool! I think I could like them.

"Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." ~ Alexander Pope

First time I ever heard of them. I do enjoy this kind of music from time to time.

If you like, there are several videos of them on You Tube. Two of my favourites aren't there, however: The Wisest Fool and Rolling Home.

Here are the lyrics to The Wisest Fool. See if you know they are 'discussing'.

Murray bowed to Charlie, yokin Atholl tae the plou'
O' the settin sons of Stewart, kings and princes since the Bruce
Rode to Perth to muster all who hailed the Rover King
And wi' weary work and bluster hewed an army frae his kin

Chorus (after each verse):
If only the wisest fool
Had bade where he first should rule
If only the wisest fool
Had bade where he first should rule
Henry's for England, Charles for Spain
Seamus is Alba's name

Johnny held a tinchel as the crystal turned to steel
And the heroes o' the Heilans filled Braemar wi' a' their zeal
Johnny hummed and hawed, let the loyal Lowlands spile
Back to France the Rover sailed afore the army of Argyll

Clavers slipped the council as they offered Will the crown
Climbed the law to find an army, turned and pulled the Orange down
Though the Heilan' targes were enough to cow McKay
To the death of Bonnie Dundee loyal men had no reply

Wow! Great lyrics. I'm tempted to put a couple of these guys in my CD Amazon wishlist. I'll be listening a little more!

What type of music would this fall into?

Old Blind Dogs is a group from Scotland. They play both traditional, traditional with a twist, and new music from that particular Celtic heritage. If you notice they sing in Scots as well as English. They have done at least one song in Gaidhlig.

Cool. I don't think I've ever heard Scottish songs only Irish ones. I really do enjoy the Irish ones so if the Scottish songs are like the Irish songs then we have a winner!

Aaacchkkk!!!!! There is no comparison. Songs from Alba are songs. Songs from Ireland . . . well I'd better not say.

I notice that Irish/Celtic/Scottish music is becoming more and more popular. The Celtic has been popular for quite awhile now, but it seems like music from that general area is moreso now. I think that's a good thing!

Well, just say it already! I'm both Scottish/Irish so you just have to decided which nationality you want to spar with!

Actually one of my closest friends is Irish. Well, he actually is an Ulster Scot. But, I do have close friends who are Irish. We have a great time ribbing one another. They have even picked up on my bashing the Campbells !

Come now Lawrence we have to move on - forgive and forget. Don't hold those meatballs and condensed soup against them.

Noo, if I only had a wee bit o' Laphroaig...

I hope you know I've let Glencoe drift into the past. Although growing up I was told the tale of the tragedy repeatedly. (You ought to walk a while in my shoes. Not only does my heritage have to deal with the tragedy of Glencoe and Culloden; I also have the War of Northern Aggression to contend with. No wonder I have such issues!)

I have a cousin, surnamed McDonald, who moved back to the land of or ancestors. Whilst there he met, courted, and proposed to one beautiful young lady surnamed Campbell. There were a few folks in my family that had a bit of a time with it. They were married in the States.

Now, did anyone ever figure out who was The Wisest Fool?
