Capercaillie
Very brief introduction
Capercaillie ("Kap-ir-Kay-Lee", named after a large
Grouse)
are without a doubt one of the most popular of Scottish traditional
groups. Karen Matheson's singing has been widely acclaimed, both for traditional
songs and some of their more pop-influenced recent work. Many comparisons have
been made between Capercaillie and Clannad both
for their overall style and their ventures from traditional to more modern sounds.
The band has been around since the early eighties, and have recorded with Green
Linnet and Survival Records.
