Music reviews of The Ladies from Hell
Music Review: Black Watch on Parade
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an excelleent CD of the pipes and drums of the 1st battalion, the Black Watch. In recent years the Black Watch has toured the USA many times. Some of the pipe medleys used in their tours are featured here. The Black watch have evolved over the years into a first class pipe band. When pipe Major Alex Brown decided to take the band into civilian competition the quality of the band sound changed. Many of the selections played and the sytle in which they are performed are very modern in technique. The Black Watch has developed a sound which is not unlike most civilian bands these days. While this may be all well and good, it would be nice if the army pipe bands stuck more with the traditional style of playing. This may be asking too much these days I suppose. The Black Watch certainly show that they can do it as well as the civies can. The band has a nice solid sound, and there are some good selections of tunes, including many older favorites, mixed with the newer fare. What makes this CD particularly good are the extensive liner notes compiled by Pipe Major Small, the current PM of 1 BW at the time. The Black Watch use to have one of the best regimental bands in the British army. This gave the BW a fine musical ensemble, and some interesting combined selections were often played by the military band with pipes and drums. It was the military band combined with the pipes that created some of the best tours during 1976, 1979 and 1989 for example, as well as in the golden years when the BW first toured the states in 1958. Unfortunately those days are over, and the 1 BW lives on without its military band today. For those who want a good solid selection played by a fine army pipe band, you can't go wrong here. Black Watch fans will certainly love it, but I urge you also to listen to some of the other fine British army pipe bands out there as well.
