Peatbog Faeries, What Men Deserve To LoseToday I got hold of the latest CD of the Peatbog Faeries titled “What Men Deserve To Lose”. Peatbog Faeries are a local band from Skye. Their music is a combination of traditional Scottish sounds from bagpipes, flutes and fiddles mixed with synths, drums and guitar. What you might call “fusion”….

The album contains 10 songs, most of which were written by Peter Morrison who - according to the bands official website - lives in Dunvegan.

After listening to it a couple of times today, I really appreciate it. The booklet that comes with the CD has a page for every song giving a short history of the song. Also, there’s a short story on the most important things one needs to know about faeries. The story also explains the title of the CD: faeries are a thieving lot although they only take what men deserve to lose.

If you’re into Scottish tunes with a twist, this album is a great buy.

My favorite song: The Invergarry Blues
Overall rating: 4 out of 5
