The Whistlebinkies - A Wanton Fling (1996) @128Kbps

This album has all the freshness of early Whistlebinkies recordings, although some of the rough edges have been worn down over time. The singing is much less brash than at one time, and this album shows a gentleness which belies the title. The combination of lowland pipes, clarsach, flute, concertina and fiddle has an air of chamber music about it on many tracks, and many of the tunes are taken at a more leisurely pace than is usual nowadays. This more relaxed style brings out aspects of the music which are seldom noticed in more upbeat performances. The slow version of "The Marquis of Huntly" and the set of Niel Gow tunes both show the benefits of a less racey treatment, as does the well-known song "Cam' Ye O'er Frae France?"
