"Ok, most of you are not going to think much of this album.
This is another one of those weird Scottish Rock groups who combine traditional instruments with basic rock or pop sounds. It is great stuff if you like it but anoying if you don't.If you like Celtic music and Rock, give this a try. If you think MacCumba is just great, you should get this too."

They Just Defy Description

"Duke Ellington said, "If it SOUNDS good, it IS good." No better proof of that statement than here. I certainly didn't know what to expect with the introduction. Outstanding background music for driving and working. Doesn't rightly matter if you lean towards the Celtic, for there are plenty tunes that don't readily categorize. Call it all fusion if you like.



Get the trio of Green Linnet recordings. This one sits in the middle; Hard To Beat was the first and Space Piper the last. Earlier recordings appear long out of press. The band apparently broke up after the last. One of the pipers, Grier Coppins, moved on to a Toronto-based group called Taxi Chain.



Gents, wherever you are, I hope you're jamming with Snake MacMurray, for my hat's off to one and all!
