	Dreaming In The West Following on from the success of their debut album “Just A Little Bit”, Eriskay Lilt present their second offering entitled “Dreaming In The West.” As before, they have chosen a wide selection of material catering for all tastes - a formula which has proved most successful for them over the years at their live performances. From traditional Scottish ceilidh dance music and sympathetic slow airs, to upbeat pop numbers plus Scottish and Irish songs the duo’s all-round ability is once again displayed. On many of the tracks, Don & Kathleen MacDonald are joined by their west coast band comprising Colin Garvin (keyboards & second accordion), Fraser MacInnes (drums), Finlay Wells (guitar, percussion & harmonica) and Chas MacKenzie (guitar). For the traditional Scottish tracks, the sound produced by Don and the band is second to none with outstanding playing and plenty of swing. The talents of guitarists Finlay and Chas are also put to good use throughout the album, complementing Kathleen’s vocal numbers wonderfully. With such high musicianship in abundance, the listener is never left disappointed. It is always a difficult task to repeat the success of a debut recording, but by once again balancing a varied mixture of music with fantastic playing, there is no doubt that Eriskay Lilt have created another hit album. The aforementioned Finlay Wells has been busy on this album - in addition to his playing role, he’s also engineered the recording and mixing of this CD. A special mention must go to him therefore, for ably capturing the energy, vitality and lift that epitomises Eriskay Lilt. Running time: 62 mins. approx.
