Huge around New York and Boston! This is the album I'm going to burn! "The reissued, re-mastered and repackaged Silly Wizard album Live Again. The recording was made live in October 1983 as the band played what would become their most famed performance in front of a 1200-strong audience at Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was originally released in 1985 as two separate albums; Golden, Golden and Live in America. However, this album brings together the complete recording on a single album for the very first time and is the first release from the band in 24 years! As well as the fantastically re-mastered recordings, this new release includes a booklet of rare archive photos and a fresh appreciation from Scotland's finest music journalist and "chronicler of the revival" Alastair Clark. "Generally considered the world's finest performers of traditional and contemporary Scottish music - and with good reason. Silly Wizard's music is at once driving and sensitive, powerful and poignant, at times hypnotic, often humorous, with sensitive group interplay and virtuoso-level musicianship. Their repertoire includes centuries-old instrumental dance music along with traditional and contemporary narrative ballads: tales of joy and woe, of men and women, of time and travel, of love and loss. Silly Wizard is not just another folk music group; they rank with the greatest creators and performers from any country from any time." - Niles J. Frantz, The All Music Guide" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Live-Again-Silly-Wizard/dp/B0090MOVJK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371843864&sr=8-1&keywords=silly+wizard
