of stock. Sorry, but most tracks are on the CD The Best of Charlie Allan
Twelve of the best known of the Aberdeenshire Bothy Ballads along with
Charlie’s own song the Blue Grey Coo. The Bothy Ballads form a record
of rural life in
Scotland’s North-east corner and the Blue Coo is about the invasion of
the area by foreign breeds of cattle in the 1970s
The production by Marc and Karen Ellington
brought a new diversity to the recording of bothy ballads
in 1979. Kenny Slavin on fiddle, Graham Mitchell on box, and
Karen and Eric Ellington provide a sympathetic backing on guitars.
