“When Here Meets There is an exciting new collaboration between two young Canadian fiddlers at the top of their game… While each fiddler brings to the album a flavour of his own, the contrast between their playing is nothing but complementary…When Here Meets There, when Ontario meets Nova Scotia, when Canadian old-time, Cape Breton, French-Canadian, Orkney, Texas, Antigonish Co. and other styles and tunes from a variety of traditions meet on this album, the result is truly magical.”
Dr. Sherry Johnson
York University, Toronto

Shane Cook, Shane Cook: The Dorchester fiddler is still in his early 20s, but he has been making good records since 1994, at least. This loving and brilliantly played tribute to the Canadian old-time fiddle tradition brings together a great lineup -- Cook, mandolin player Ray Legere, pianist Kim Holmes, guitarist Brian Pickell and bassist Lew Mele. Relaxed, sprightly and precise, it was recorded at the Cook family home. A tear comes to my eye when Cook plays Don Messer's Breakdown, as a young master gestures to a dear departed hero. Co-produced by Cook and Legere.
-James Reaney, London Free Press |
