Over the years Old Blind Dogs have gained a well-earned reputation as one of Scotland's best traditional folk bands. Despite quite a few personnel changes over the years, they have continued to put out good music.

Four on the Floor is no exception. The current lineup contains only one original band member (Jonny Hardie). The recent exit of their former lead singer has resulted in the rest of the band sharing vocals and concentrating more on harmonies. The good news is that the music is still great.

Four on the Floor is a really nice mix of traditional and contemporary songs. The CD opens with Ewan McColl's "Terror Time." "Star o' the Bar" in the Scottish tradition tells us about a woman at a bar who isn't pretty, is foul-mouthed and can really drink. "Gaelic Song" reveals the band's more traditional side.

The CD also has several good instrumental tracks, including "Jigs," a collection of Irish and Galician tunes, and "Harris Dance," a set of traditional reels. "Cairn o' Mount" is a traditional ballad about a shepherd who tests the affections of his beloved by disguising himself as a nobleman.

A highlight of this CD is the inclusion of several live tracks, including a rousing version of "Boys of Bedlam/The Rights of Man" and "Branle," another live instrumental track with some excellent piping and fiddle playing. It gives you a sense that seeing these guys live would be a real treat.

Four on the Floor is another great collection of Scottish music from Old Blind Dogs that has all of the elements that have made their music so appealing over the past 15 years.
