The Black Tartan Clan - Don´t walk alone CD
[4S201311]

T?etí album od belgické celtic punkové kapely The Black Tartan Clan je venku a op?t na jejich (i naąem) domácím labelu 4Subculture Records. Tomuto albu p?edcházel ?ty?píą?ový CD singl s názvem Standing Strong, který vyąel v srpnu 2012. Z tohoto singlu zde najdete dv? písn? a to titulní Don´t Walk Alone a Finaly Free (ovąem v mnohem pomalejąí verzi neľ na singlu). Na albu najdete celkov? 12 song? na cca 40 minutách (vlastn? 13, je tu jeąt? instrumentální bonus), coľ je ok. Kapela za?adila mezi své hudební nástroje i banjo, bouzouki a i klávesy a celkov? tedy vystupuje v ąesti lidech. Na albu najdete klasický rychlý vypalova?ky, které Vás donutí minimáln? poklepávat nohou nebo do sebe lejt pivo po litrech (jako t?eba první Toora Loora, 5 Minutes nebo Walk Away no More), pomalejąí fláky (jako t?eba Chilli Time nebo Code of the Clan - tady práv? zazní zmi?ované klávesy), ale i zcela instrumentální v?ci (jako The Water is Wide). Kapela si ned?lá moc hlavu s n?jakými sloľitými v?cmi, a nejpodstatn?jąí v?ci je pro n? zábava a o ní je také v?tąina jejich text?. Daląí jsou t?eba o krásách Skotska (Loch Lomond), o t?ľkostech ľivota a d?vodech s nimi bojovat (Walk Away No More), volání k bitv? (To Battle) nebo o skotské historii (Finally Free). Booklet je parádn? zpracován a nechybí v n?m jak texty, tak detailní fotky ?len? kapely plus celá ?ada fotek z koncert?, pitek nebo nahrávání. Kapela nem?ní sv?j styl (osobn? myslím, ľe to ani moc nejde), ale kaľdé jejich album je troąku jiné a p?sobí na Vás jinak. Pohodová muzika, hlavn? na n?jakou párty nebo k pivu, ale bacha, protoľe pokud si to pustíte, garantuju Vám, ľe neskon?íte u jednoho drinku.

Third studio album from celtic punk rock band from Belgium The Black Tartan Clan is out again on their (and also on ours) home label 4Subculture Records. Before this album they released also four song single called Standing Strong. From this single you can find two songs there - Don´t Walk Alone and Finaly Free (but this version is slower than the single version). Together you can listen to 12 songs on circa 40 minutes (sorry 13 songs there is one instrumental bonus). The band uses some more traditional instruments on this album like banjo, bouzouki or keyboards and they are playing in six pieces line up now. You will find fast drinking songs there which suggest you to dance or drink more booze (like Toora Loora, 5 Minutes or Walk Away no More), slower songs (like Chilli Time or Code of the Clan ? with the mentioned keyboards), but also instrumental pieces (like The Water is Wide). The band doesn´t care too much about some serious things and most important is fun for them and about fun is also most of their lyrics. Others are about the Scotland area (Loch Lomond), hardness of life and your fight against them (Walk Away No More), calling to battle (To Battle) or about Scottish history (Finally Free). Booklet is well done with all lyrics, detailed photos of band members plus many photos from the gigs, parties or studio. The band didn´t changing their style (I think it is impossible little bit) but each of their albums is different to me. Nice music ideal to some party or to beer drinking session and I think that when you will listen to them it is impossible to end the party sober.
