Artist: Hugh Morrison
Album: Ali MacGregor’s Music Collection
Year Produced: 2009
Hugh Morrison is back again with a new CD full of fun accordion music that you just can’t help tap your foot to. Morrison has been around for a long time now, and there is a lot to be said for this type of upbeat CD that makes it truly impossible to be in a bad mood when it’s on. His music is always uplifting!
Here traditionalists can relish in the sound of jigs and reels, but there is a deeper reason for the album as well, hinted at by the title of the CD. You see, Ali MacGregor was Hugh Morrison’s mentor in Scotland, so this is a tribute to the person who gave him his start. A book goes along with the CD (actually it is really the other way around, but who’s splitting hairs) that is a resting place for all the tunes composed by MacGregor. A lovely idea.
Scottish Fiddle Champion, Judi Nicolson plays on this CD with Morrison, as does Kendall Rogers on the piano. And if being in a good mood after you listen to these songs isn’t enough motivation to get the CD, know that all the proceeds go to a good cause–MacMillan Cancer Nurses in Inverness, Scotland.
