Capercaille, any fans out there?

Oh my goodness! I got my Capercaillie CD, Choice Language, and it is marvelous! Every single song on there is absolutely wonderful! Hard to pinpoint any favorites, but I really love the song At Dawn of Day. I would highly recommend this new CD of theirs to fans of this very talented band.

Some recent news about Capercaillie:

Eamon, I asked for the movie, Rob Roy, for Christmas! Hope I get it! Thanks for letting me know in advance about the music and who it is by.

Eamon and Celtic Rose;

I "discovered" Capercaillie by watching "Rob Roy" and was absolutely fascinated. Then I bought the soundtrack-CD and found "Choice Language" at amazon.

Did you finally get the movie? I don't know how often I did watch it until now; still love it - hope Santa did a good job for you!

JaneyMae! I did indeed get the Rob Roy movie. I very much enjoyed it. I loved the music and the solo done in the movie by Karen Matheson. I have "Choice Language" and just ordered "To The Moon."

I'm really glad for you! Enjoy it...you must have been a good girl this year (*grin*)

I am a Capercaillie French fan ! I have seen them live only once but that was in Cairo, Egypt (not live at the Pyramids !) in 1987 ! Their concert was great and my Scottish friends sent me lots of tapes through the mail to Egypt.

Now that I am back to France, I hope to see them live again soon. I hope to talk and to meet Capecaillie fans in 2004 ! That is one of my wishes for the new year.

Tell me about your feelings when you saw Capercaillie live or when you listen to Karen 's magical voice !

Waiting for your opinion !

Hi Lionel! I am a recent convert to Capercaillie. I first heard them on Celticradio and wow! I had to find out who they were. I only have the one CD, Choice Languages, and it is awesome. I ordered To The Moon but have not received it yet as it is on back order. I have a German friend who is burning some of her Capercaillie CDs and is sending them to me now. I can hardly wait.

I own the movie Rob Roy and Karen Matheson's voice solo in there was just beyond beautiful. I love her voice, the music, the singing in Gaelic. I love their contemporary work as well as traditional. A very gifted group of musicians and singers.

Hi CelticRose !

Oh great ! I think that we have the same tastes in music ! I also own the Rob Roy DVD and every time I listen to Karen's voice singing in the movie, I shiver ! Incredible voice and beautiful woman ! Can't wait seeing her again live after the Cairo concert 16 years ago !

Wow! That is a long time ago! Has Capercaillie been together that long? I bet it was awesome seeing them and in such a beautiful setting too. That is my favorite part in the Rob Roy movie is Karen's solo! Gives me chills too!

Yes that was a long time ago and Karen Matheson was still very young ! But unfortunately the concert was not at the pyramids ! It was at the American University in Cairo (Ewart Hall), the venue was quite nice and the concert really good ! I still have the poster of the concert, I kept it as a memory !

Well I am sooooooooo excited cause a good friend of mine from Germany sent me three Capercaillie CDs today! She sent me "Dusk Till Dawn -- The Best of Capercaillie," "Glenfinnan -- Songs of the 45" and "Waulk Roots." They are all so marvelous, I am not sure which I like the best! I ordered "To the Moon" but it is on back order and so I am impatiently waiting for that one too! I want to order "Delirium" but that has been out of stock.

Try to order them directly from Capercaillie's label, Vertical Records.

Thanks Lionel! I thought about that. I have ordered things from the UK before, but the shipping is horribly expensive from there to the US and I am too cheap to pay for it. So my German friend and I burn CDs for each other and trade!

That's the best deal that you can get ! Enjoy your Capercaillie listening !

Capercaille - cool band. Karen Matheson's vocals are something special
