REVIEW:
"The Kingdom Folk Band present traditional Scottish songs as well, in simple, spare arrangements that feature prominent mandolin and banjo. They are George Mackie on mandolin, tenor banjo, bodhran, whistles and vocals and Alex Killin on guitar, bodhran and vocals. Their "travel light" approach to the music shows kinship with the many itinerant singer songwriters of the ages. Also veterans of the road, their album is entitled Restless and features several songs about travelling around, and movin' on. The prominent use of the banjo, and the travelin-guy motif give the album a country tinged flavour. Indeed the title track is so similar to the Allman Brother's "Ramblin' Man" that I had a moment of geographic confusion. I often find the mournful wail of the instruments and the dark, stoic themes of Scottish songs to be strongly reminiscent of Appalachian traditions, and this album highlights the links to my ear. The album has several standouts, including the instrumental opening, "The De'il's Awa'" followed by a nice rendition of "The Trooper and the Maid." I also enjoyed "Rovin' Journeyman," and "Cunla" which features voice and bodhran describing the protests of the sleeper as Cunla gets closer and closer. This is another album that will appeal to fans of the songs of the Scottish traditions, as well as folkies who appreciate singer songwriters." Greenmanreview.com
