Praise for "Silver Lining"
"The
music here is mostly
slow and stately, reminiscent of the Scottish country-dance tradition,
and full of interesting textures from two close-fitting instruments
playing complementary melodies...This lovely CD is a fine example of
the quieter side of the Celtic tradition."
from CD Review in Dirty
Linen
"Silver Lining is a lovely, interesting recording. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. The creative arrangements bring out the best in familiar tunes... Part of the appeal of this duo is that the instruments work so successfully together. Both musicians can play melody, harmony and chords, and the hammered dulcimer also adds some percussive sounds that add drive and interest."
