Capercaillie - To The Moon

Capercaillie are without a doubt one of the most popular of Scottish groups. Crafted majestically around the sensuous vocals of Karen Matheson, Capercaillie are Scotland's top folk band - and have been for over a decade. They've done it the hard way, too, combining traditional credibility with commercial clout, in part through the Gaelic folk songs Matheson learned as a child from her grandmother.

The band spent the early part of 1995 writing music for and appearing in the Hollywood movie, Rob Roy and then began work on the album. They enlisted the help of Fred Morrison, the Scottish champion piper and the band's sound took another huge step forward. The album contains 'Ailean Duin' the theme song from Rob Roy which features the renowned piper Davy Spillane, and 'Claire in Heaven' a powerful song from Manus with an electrifying instrumental section from Charles, Manus and Fred.
