Still Drinking: Old Blind Dogs and "Come A' Ye Kincardine Lads"



Today's random tune is by Old Blind Dogs, who perform Come A' Ye Kincardine Lads. Old Blind Dogs were formed in 1990 when the three founding members met on a "buskers holiday" in the Scottish Highlands. The band was originally distinctive as it represented the music and traditions of Northeastern Scotland and sang in the dialect of Aberdeen and the region. The band focuses on traditional Scottish and Celtic music, with influences from rock, reggae, jazz, blues and Middle Eastern rhythms. Come A' Ye Kincardine Lads can be found on their 2006 album Fit?, and in a live version on their 2005 CD Play Live as Kincardine Lads. The song is a call for the lads to join in some whiskey drinking at Sandy's illegal still.
