Bio / Background
"A Waulking Tour of Scotland" takes listeners on a musical excursion, featuring many styles of Scottish music. Waulking the cloth, work usually done by women, would soften tweed and prepare it for wearing. Work songs were sung to pass the time. These songs capture the essence of Scottish life in their words and music, and are used as the milestones on this musical journey.
"Jo Morrison's A Waulking Tour of Scotland was a masterful work. Jo gets more out of the harp than should be possible."
Chuck Lipsig from Green Man Review's Best of 2000 listings
"You don't necessarily have to pound tweed in your basement to enjoy this bright, diverse collection of mostly traditional Scottish work songs and harp tunes showcasing material from a variety of Caledonian styles and regions. [...] There are strong call-and-response songs in tongue-twisting Gaelic, brisk dance tune medleys, and delicate harp solos, all crisply performed and comprehensively described in the accompanying notes.
