about

A title that sounds like it really belongs on an 80s hair metal album. The Lass referred to is allegedly a horse though, so that's all fine. It's from Robert Bremner's Collection of Scots Reels, Country Dances (1757) via, once again John of the Green -- I've definitely got my money's worth from that collection.

A good chunk of the drum patterns and a lot of the riffage for this arrangement are lifted wholesale from Pelican's "Deny the Absolute". Larry Herweg, drummer in the Chicago post-metal outfit, gets a bit of stick online. To be honest, he can be a bit sloppy, but I really like the way that on that particular track there's very little light and shade from anyone in the band, and it's hammer down pretty much all the way. That's the attempted feel here, so there's no messing around with 13/8 time signatures, skipped beats or any of that nonsense. It's just a bunch of drop tuned guitars going full pelt in 4/4.

These are largely taken from the Playford collection, but there are also a few modern and collected tunes. ... more
