Ronnie Brown Scottish Love Songs

Ronnie Browne never disappoints. Just as his other solo CD's and the duos he sang with Roy Williamson as the other half of The Corries, his voice can be gentle and tender and caressing or bold and challenging or filled with humor. The songs on this CD are a blend of modern and historical and he can handle both like a consummate professional. As the years advanced the tiny little rasp in his voice does nothing to detract from the songs he has chosen, in fact, they are enhanced by it. He could read the telephone book with that Scottish burr and be entrancing. If he ever chooses to cut another CD, I will be first in line for it and would recommend any of his music to anyone who loves folk music, love songs, and the gentle rolling rr's of a Scottish accent.

I bought this CD for just a couple songs but with one playing I love them all. Scottish, Irish, Celtic ... this CD has a flavor of all three. Each song is beautifully sung (no high screechy voices) and creates an emotion in the listener. Just listen to Dumbarton's Drums and you will see what I mean. I just wish more of his music was available.

Lovely CD by Ronnie- his voice has deerned to liquid chocolate. I wish he would make more.

Ronnie has given many years of sterling performances but I was a little disappointed in the arrangements of most of the songs on this CD. Some were, to my mind (and ear), quite unsuitable for his voice. I don't regret buying the CD but I won't be playing it as often as I anticipated.
