The Heart of Cape Breton
Fiddle Music recorded Live along the Ceilidh Trail

Produced by Burt Feintuch for the Smithsonian Institute, this is a compilation of live recordings by some of Cape Breton most popular players. Includes Buddy MacMaster, Jackie Dunn, Jerry Holland, Brenda Stubbert, Kinnon Beaton and Wendy MacIsaac.

To my ears, this is the best recording you'll find of Kinnon Beaton ... he really shines at a dance!
