Press Reviews "Jimi McRae [aka Jimi The Piper] has shifted up a gear from the traditional bagpipe themes and sounds of his debut album Pipedreams, taking an evolutionary leap with Earthdance. Although the stories inspiring the tunes remain local, Earthdance has a world music feel mixed with full on funk rock attitude. Tartan stereotypes are tossed aside as McRae's skill proves the pipes as powerful, moving and diverse as any instrument. He fools us with a mournful melody on Arabic pipes on the title song but counters with the closer to home soundings on 'Dornie Bends'. Jimi the Piper is making his mark." -------------Review 06/2001 of Jimi's latest CD Earthdance
