About this title

About the Author:

Famous 18th-century Scottish poet and lyricist. Widely recognized as the national poet of Scotland, Burns is also celebrated as a pioneer of the Romantic Movement. His poetry covers a broad colourful spectrum and is noteworthy for its intensity and sincerity.

From AudioFile:

One of the most vigorous and accessible of English-language poets, Robert Burns, writing in his native Scots dialect, intended his compositions to be recited and sung. This recording, therefore, is most welcome, particularly for us Yanks, who have little familiarity with the sounds of the Highlands. John Cairney and a pair of musicians serve up 20 poems and lyrics with considerable verve and flair. For comprehension, the listener is advised to follow along with the texts.
