So many celebrated and award-winning musicians on the album, plus their family of five children who participated too. Instrumental ‘Voice Memo 3049’ takes us out of the album. ‘Wish you Were Near’ features the beautiful, mellow voice of Robyn Cunningham at the beginning then drums take over and much foot tapping ensues!. ‘East Neuk Of Fife’ is a foot tapper for sure! ‘The Laird O’Bernersyde’ is a slow waltz which is hauntingly beautiful and mellow. ‘Carameio’ featuring Josemi Carmona is a soft mellow track, almost waltz like with a touch of the Game Of Thrones theme tune.

The track gives a feel of Americana/Mid-West music with full belt drums and fiddles.‘The Case of the Mysterious Squabbyquash’ (whatever that is) featuring Cuban/Canadian multi-awarded musician Elmer Ferrer and is a fast tempo train like tempo with a fusion of various instruments. ‘Choo Choo’ features the couple’s 17-year-old daughter Mary. ‘Galicia’ features Spanish celebrated guitarist Josemi Carmona and is a beautiful cello and fiddle tune. Powerful stuff! ‘So You Love’ has celebrated classical cellist Yoyo Ma featuring on this beautiful, haunting piano intro with melodic violin accompanying.
Brilliant! ‘Woman Of The House’ (sung in Gaelic) has Grammy award winning Americana/Appalachian banjo/fiddle player Rhiannon Giddens guesting. ‘Colour Therapy’ – had full on fiddles featuring Brian Finnegan, ‘Dance Arnold Dance’ reminded me of skiffle and after a high tempo it ends slowly, taking the listener up and then gentle down. ‘Canvas’ – the title track kicked off the album, which took the listener into an up-tempo dramatic start leading into an explosion of fiddles! They had my attention straight away!! From the first track I was hooked! Wow what an album! Thirteen glorious tracks of Celtic Folk to listen to. (Their cumulative album sales have topped one million and have sell out live performances across North America). Two of the world’s top Celtic fiddle players and known as Canada’s reigning stars of Celtic music– husband and wife team Donnell Leahy and Natalie MacMaster have recently released their third album together entitled Canvas.
