Since forming in 1990, Old Blind Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of Scotland's roots revival. The group has developed its own trademark style in which dynamic percussion and bluesy harmonica fuel the delicately phrased melodies of traditional songs. Founding members, fiddler player, Jonny Hardie, and bass and cittern (a renaissance-era precursor to the guitar) player, Buzzby McMillan, hail from Aberdeenshire on Scotland's northeast coast, an area steeped in traditional songs and fiddle tunes. They have built upon the region's melodies, incorporating African-flavored rhythms of djembes and congas, with pipes and fiddle tying the music back to its Scottish roots. World percussion prodigy Paul Jennings, gifted traditional singer Jim Malcom, and veteran piper Rory Campbell round out the roster of this supergroup, hailed by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as in a league with such great Celtic acts as the Bothy Band and the Battlefield Band. Old Blind Dogs latest Green Linnet release is entitled Fit?, which means what? in Scottish dialect.
