You can walk down Princes Street in Edinburgh and hear the buskers playing Jim Sutherland's tunes or walk into Irish pubs around the world from San Francisco to Sydney and hear them played as part of the jam session. His Easy Club Reel, has passed into folk legend. This was such a good band - not only the inventiveness of the tune and song arrangements but the skill with which they are executed. A line-up featuring Rod Patterson - vocals/guitar; John Martin - fiddle; Jim Sutherland - cittern/bodhran/percussion and Jack Evans - guitar, collectively represents some of the most gifted traditional musicians of their generation. Although this album was recorded during the summer of 1984 it's accurate to say that the music produced during those sessions hasn't lost any of its appeal during the intervening years. So many tracks on this CD are classics. The title Easy Club Reel of course and Dirty Old Town & Auld Toon Shuffle sung by Rod with such panache. The rhythms of The Ostritch are spot on and John McNeills Reel is a perfect tune  to round of a great CD.
