Buy Jenna Reid - Morning Moon by Jenna Reid
Jenna Reid - Morning Moon: Shetland fiddler Jenna's playing is superb on this her third solo album . The album starts with a great tune, a catchy march Jenna heard on Robbie Shepherd's 'Take the Floor' radio programme and continues to be a joy to listen to throughout. Jenna can do dazzlingly intricate reels and melting slow airs and it was also a pleasure to hear her sing the Dougie MacLean song 'Not Lie down'. Her lovely light touch and sheer musicality are complimented by her backing musicians, Harris Playfair (piano), Kevin MacKenzie (guitar), Bethany Reid,(piano), Kathleen Boyle (accordion), James Thomson (flute), Iain Sandilands (drums), Duncan Lyall (double bass) and special guest, Olov Johansson (nickelharpa) from Swedish band Vasen.The album title comes from a tune in 'The Shetland Violinist'. 'Morning Moon' is a lovely selection of music from a very fine musician indeed!
Media Reviews
'really bring out the goosebumps'
"....What makes this album stand out for me, though, is Reid’s command across the range of tune styles. Her own Goran Berg’s is a fabulous romp, featuring piano, bass, drums, nickelharpa, flute and accordion supporting the fiddle, but her playing of Ian Powrie’s Big Dougal, a classic slow air with a gorgeous melodic twist, her reading of her teacher, Willie Hunter’s soulfully evocative Leaving Lerwick Harbour, and her duetting with piano master Harris Playfair on the beautiful closer, Nellie’s Favourite really bring out the goosebumps."
