Wicked Tinkers (album)

Art Direction: Warren Casey Design & Production: James Suelflow Photography: Evan Hurd Copy Editor: Jim Hull "If my car suddenly acquired one of those earthshaking sound systems that vibrates windows for a block in each direction, this might be the first CD I'd play.

There's nothing subtle, or serious, about these guys—just three smiling lads from California with a set of Highland bagpipes and assorted drums, having a lot of fun blasting away on an assortment of traditional and modern Scottish jigs, reels, hornpipes, and marches.

A percussive wall of sound from snare and tenor drums and a booming Macedonian bass tappan reinforce Aaron Shaw's turbocharged piping on most tracks, with a couple of slow airs thrown in for a breather.

Highly recommended for anyone who likes Scottish pipes and drums played with skill and power, or who just wants to scare off the neighbors."
