The Breakdown by Red Thistle Music

Subtitled "thirteen dances in strict tempo," The Breakdown was commissioned and produced by Jennifer Kelly as a teaching set of Scottish Country Dances, and features never before recorded tunes for the popular dance Sea Tangle of Skye. New settings for The Breakdown, Rob Roy, and Lady Wynd, plus toe-tapping selections for classics such as General Stuart's Reel and Angus MacKinnon. The Breakdown features the playing of pianist Lyle Ramshaw and violinist Susan Worland Bentley (both from Fiddlesticks and Ivory) accompanied by percussionist Michael Bentley. This trio has been playing for Scottish Country Dancing frequently for over a decade; here is their first full-length recording from 2004.
