Vol. 6 in Greentrax's Celtic Collections series focuses on contemporary Scottish songs. From the rollicking techno-jigs of Shooglenifty and the soulful funk of the Tartan Amoebas to more traditional fare from the likes of Deaf Shepherd and Seelyhoo, Celtic Sounds of Scotland makes for an interesting -- sometimes frustrating -- listen. Folk music purists would do better with earlier volumes of the series, as the styles are so varied that the listener might have trouble separating the novel from the novelty. ~ James Christopher Monger
