Kevin Burke/Cal Scott - Across the Black River

This recording is an exciting collaboration between renowned Irish fiddler Kevin Burke and guitarist/composer Cal Scott. The album features the unique talents of fellow musicians Johnny B. Connolly (accordeon) from the band Bridgetown, Michael McGoldrick (flutes) from Capercaillie and Phil Baker (bass) from Pink Martini. As well as beautifully crafted interpretations of traditional tunes the album includes new pieces written by both Cal and Kevin, a reworking of a Bill Monroe bluegrass classic and an air written by Phil Cunningham in remembrance of his brother, Johnny, the famous Scottish fiddler.
