Review: As one of the tightest, and unflinchingly focused, folk bands in the nation, Tillerâs Folly continues to produce music that is both distinctly Canadian and firmly rooted in the Celtic tradition. Songwriter and lead
singer Bruce Coughlan has mined the colourful history of the Pacific Northwest with the help of curators and historians, and successfully turns yesterdayâs adventures and yarns into engaging tunes built around rock-solid
arrangements and outstanding instrumental interplay. Binding together the best of a decadeâs worth of gems, with Chatham Reach, Last of the Royal Engineers and Down At Gassy Jackâs having been cut in the last year,Coughlan, bassist Lawrence Knight and string wizard Nolan Murray vigorously stir the pot with Pogues-like intensity one minute before delivering a sweet ballad the next. With help from friends like ex-Newgrass Revival singer John
Cowan, Steven Drake of Odds fame and famed American session pianist Larry Knechtel (LA Wrecking Crew), Stirring Up Ghosts confirms that Tillerâs Folly is a
national treasure.
