Subject: Review: Music played on the Combolins
For all you Corries fans out there, David Stinton has released a recording called "Caledonian Sunset."
He inherited the combolins invented by Roy Williamson under the promise he make a recording featuring them. I just got my copy from WWW.Corries.com

It is everything I had hoped it would be. All instrumentals. It is a worthy tribute to Roy's vision. Some of the tunes are:
Come by the Hills, LochTay Boat song, Castle of Dromore, Carrickfergus,
Those who are familer with the Corries will recognize almost every tune as having been peformed by them. But these instrumentals really demonstrate the haunting sound of the combolins. They have a droning yet peaceful sound unique to themselves
I highly recomend it.
