There is so much to love about The Battlefield Band, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. I am not a real Ethnic music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Home Is Where the Van Is’ really is amazing. Home Is Where the Van Is carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. IT makes me wanna dance!
Bonny Barbry-O is a exquisite song and it grows on you. Look Across the Water/Mrs Garden of Troup/The Keelman Ower Land is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Home Is Where the Van Is have ended. Braw Lads O’Galla Water is the song that really did it for me. You can find feelings on this piece of art. The first time I listened to Joseph McDonald’s Jig/The Snuff Wife/Thief of Lochaber I was struck by its marvelous sound. Cockle Geordie/Miss Graham/Miss Thompson - My least favorite song on this album. This track is full of harmonies and gets Home Is Where the Van Is off to a relaxing start. Blackhall Rocks (2:54) - awsome. Home Is Where the Van Is couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Lads O’ the Fair. Listening to Cowal Gathering/The Iron Man/Dancing Feet/Dick Gossip’s Reel you can hear that The Battlefield Band has still amazing chemistry with band members. Mary Cassidy gives taste of what makes The Battlefield Band special as a musician.
