The new Tribute CD

***The Tribute CD ***

Tribute is a CD of fiddle music from master fiddle/violin player Jim McKillop. Tribute is actually a double CD as it contains (23) tracks (containing 30 tunes) of a variety of musical styles including Irish & Scottish traditional tunes, beautiful Waltzes, Irish slow Airs, and American music. Accompanied by guitarist Pat Conroy (previous accompanist to the late great Sean Maguire) and James Quinn on Piano/Bass, this CD demonstrates once again why so many people consider Jim McKillop to have a unique talent for expressive and emotional playing together with superb technical expertise.
