At the heart of it all, even three ground breaking decades after Capercaillie first performed as teenagers in their native Scottish Highlands; even as they continue the worldwide musical journey that's taken them from the Brazilian rainforest to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, not to mention into the UK pop charts, lies the ancient Gaelic culture that originally inspired them. At the Heart of It All, the band's brand new 30th anniversary album, revisits and reinvigorates songs sourced from the rich vein of centuries old Hebridean Folk songs, enriched by compelling contemporary arrangements, together with an array of special guests representing the pinnacle of today's flourishing Scottish music scene. As Scottish music triumphantly comes of age in the 21st century, Capercaillie, Karen Matheson (vocal), Donald Shaw (Keys), Charlie McKerron (fiddle), Manus Lunny (guitar), Ewen Vernal (bass), Michael McGoldrick (flute/pipes), David Robertson (percussion) and Che Beresford (drums) are the band who have grown up with it and are now widely credited with a seminal role in that wider transformation. Further reaffirming their stature among Celtic music's international torchbearers, Capercaillie's reputation as a thrilling live act has also only grown with the years, with at the Heart of It All's release marking a welcome return to the road. Album guests include vocalists Julie Fowlis, Kathleen MacInnes, Darren MacLean, Sineag Macintyre and Kris Drever (Lau). Also, Irish banjo legend Gerry O'Connor, uilleann piper Jarlath Henderson, fiddler Aidan O'Rourke (Lau), percussionist James Mackintosh and Jazz saxophonist Tommy Smith.
