In the '50s and '60s Joe MacLean made a number of
influential recordings. This new CD, Old Time Scottish
Fiddle Music from Cape Breton Island was recorded in
1977, but has only recently been released. As with all of
Joe's recordings, the repertoire is inspiring - a high
percentage of seldom heard tunes, mostly interpreted from
old Scottish books.

Joe had one of the best libraries of old Scottish books
in Cape Breton and fortunately for all of us, he was
generous with his music during his lifetime. His books are
now available to the public in the Highland Village Archives
(Iona, Cape Breton).
Joe MacLean and Bill Lamey
circa 1950
