 Questi chi sono e che fanno?
Nuovo folk scozzese. Ne ho sentito parlare spesso ma non ho mai
ascoltato nulla di loro...
Questa, ad ogni modo, la scheda di Amg...
In Britain and Ireland, as in America over the last 25 years or so, a
number of folk music bands
 have sprung up that have combined strong elements and foundations of
the traditional with a variety
 of influences from other cultures and styles. Steeleye Span, the
Tannahill Weavers, Fairport
 Convention, the House Band, Wolfstone and others have all produced
music that borrows as freely
 from reggae, African rhythms, and American folk and rock music, as from
the ancient ballads and
 tunes of their own cultures. Among the most striking and interesting of
these bands was Scotland's
 Old Blind Dogs, an Aberdeen based band that toured Europe and North
America extensively
 throughout the '90s before dissolving in 1998. The genesis of Old Blind
Dogs dates to 1990, when
 three veterans of the Aberdeen music scene came together after having
played with each other in
 various other bands. Guitarist and lead singer Ian F. Benzie, the elder
statesman of the band, had
 been involved with folk music since the glory days of the late '50s and
early '60s. It was the
 realization that many of his favorite songs by American folk icons like
Joan Baez were, in fact,
 songs from centuries past in his own culture that steered him toward
the traditional side of the
 music, while becoming adept at writing his own powerful material. As a
singer, Benzie has been
 compared to fellow Scotsmen Dick Gaughan and Archie Fisher, a master of
phrasing and delivery,
 whether of his own songs or of classics like "The Cruel Sister."
Joining Benzie in the original
 configuration of the Dogs were fellow Aberdeen natives Jonny Hardie on
fiddle and Buzzby
 McMillan, a jack of all trades on bass, whistles, cittern and just
about anything else with frets and
 strings. Though classically trained as a viola player, Hardie became
enamored of the traditional
 fiddle tunes he heard while travelling throughout Britain. Meeting up
again with McMillan after
 returning from music college, they began busking together on the
streets and playing in a succession
 of bands before forming the Dogs with Benzie. By 1992, they had gained
a reputation as a band
 adept at mixing traditional Scottish fare with more modern material,
but it was the addition of
 percussionist Davy Cattanach in that year that gave the band a
character unlike any other of their
 contemporary bands and allowed them to branch out in new directions.
Cattanach had played
 drums in a number of reggae, rock and blues bands that McMillan had
also been part of. After
 spending five years or so in London, Cattanach returned to Aberdeen,
where he met up again with
 McMillan. He had never played or been involved with traditional music
before, but was intrigued
 with the sound of the band his friend was playing in, and on being told
they were looking to add a
 percussionist, immediately went out and got a set of congas. With the
addition of the exotic rhythms
 Cattanach brought to the band, they were able to explore new ways of
expressing their distinctive
 blend of old and new. For the next five years, they toured and recorded
to rave reviews on both
 sides of the Atlantic, such as this one from the Scottish Daily Record:
"From the exciting driving
 energy of traditional tunes to the haunting melody [they] will give you
goosepimples on the back of
 your neck." In 1997, a fifth Dog was added in the person of piper and
woodwind player Fraser
 Fifield, whose work was welcomed by the band's die-hard fans as an
added dimension to the
 sound. In 1998, Cattanach departed the band and was replaced by
long-time Wolfstone drummer
 and percussionist Graeme "Mop" Youngson. Following their 1998 U.S.
tour, though, the years of
 being on the road induced Benzie to also quit the band, and as the
clock wound down on the
 century, Old Blind Dogs was in hiatus. -- John Lupton

 ascoltato nulla di loro...

è peraltro curioso che il sito del comune di Bordighera (Im)
indichi come loro opening act John Renbourn e Jacqui Mc Shee.
Curioso e abbastanza inverosimile, ma visto che si parla di
Bordighera, perché no? In ogni caso:
