ALBUM

Almost 30 years after the release of its debut album (and with only one founding member, keyboardist and songwriter [wimpLink artistId="3879993"]Alan Reid[/wimpLink], remaining), [wimpLink artistId="3643807"]the Battlefield Band[/wimpLink] has gone from strict traditionalism to folk-rock fusion and back again, and is now one of Celtic music's most respected traditional groups. Not that the quartet's sound is in any way hidebound or dusty; they can rip things up with the best of them, and are as likely to play new original compositions as old traditional ones. On [wimpLink albumId="241540429"]Out for the Night[/wimpLink], the young fiddle virtuoso [wimpLink artistId="3580564"]John McCusker[/wimpLink] has been replaced by the only slightly older fiddle virtuoso [wimpLink artistId="6189861"]Alasdair White[/wimpLink], who brings not only a gorgeous tone and limpid rhythmic sense to the proceedings, but also several very fine original tunes; even better original material comes courtesy of piper [wimpLink artistId="7555944"]Mike Katz[/wimpLink]. The best news of all is the return to the group of guitarist and singer [wimpLink artistId="4269298"]Pat Kilbride[/wimpLink] after a 20-year absence. Highlights on the program include [wimpLink artistId="4269298"]Kilbride[/wimpLink]'s vocal performance on "Earl of Errol" and the very fine dance set at the beginning of the album; only the harmonica on "Belfast to Boston" seems a bit out of place. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson
