Ashley is a like a two headed beast. On the one hand he is one of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia's finest young traditional fiddlers. His flip side is his rock/disco/r&b/folk influenced stuff which I think is great (and I consider myself somewhat of a traditionalist.) despite that I know members of the group will dissapprove of his packaging despite the fact that he and Gaelic singer Mary Jane Lamond had a hit in Canada with a 200+ yr. old Gaelic song. I would suggest Ashley MacIssac-Fine Thank You Very Much for some of the best fiddling in the traditional style that you will hear from any style. I also recommend his more modern sounding Hi How Are You Today both on A&M records. Good Stuff. As this is a song list I must also suggest any of the recordings by gaelic singer MAry Jane Lamond (who still sings with Ashley occasionally). Bho Thir Nan Craobh (From the Land of the Tree's) is all traditional while Suas E! is more modern. Great songs from the Cape Breton Gaelic song tradition.
