Details:
Since his initial rise to prominence with the INDIE Award-winning world-folk trio Helicon, Robin Bullock has established a reputation as one of America''s finest instrumentalists on acoustic guitar, cittern and mandolin. His twin passions for Celtic and Appalachian traditions, coupled with his fertile imagination as a composer and arranger, result in a musical vision "filled with grace and charm and warmth and insight" (Bluegrass Unlimited). For his sixth solo recording, Robin takes a direct approach, casting his spell over the listener with introspective solo performances and stripped-down acoustic ensemble arrangememts. The ageless melodies of Ireland, Scotland and Appalachia, together with some of Robin''s most inspired compositions, create a world of enchantment indeed. Includes concert favorites "First Light in the Mountains," "Shenandoah," and Robin''s thunderous mandolin tour-de-force "Bonaparte''s Retreat."
