This Scottish duo consisting of  Douglas Montgomery (fiddle/viola) and Brian Cromarty (guitar/mandola/vocals) brings some great music to the scene in their Netherbow CD.

The album contains both traditional fiddle tunes and original compositions, and there is a nice mix of songs with vocals versus instrumental tunes.

Upon first listening to the CD, you’ll be a bit surprised to learn that this is a duo because the sound is so complex and rich. You’ll definitely be convinced there are a couple more band members thrown in there.

Check this one out at your first opportunity!
