Off Kilter
This recording, The Rogues' fourth, marks a milestone in
the band's career. Not only having mostly original music,
it crosses over into different musical styles, incorporating
rock, jazz, bluegrass and new age, along with standard traditional
settings. This by far is their highest quality release to
date, and marks a direction for future releases.

Wothke
The name of this tune springs
from the fact that in the beginning it was so difficult
to play. Being a blend of pipe music and rock & roll,
the result, surprisingly, is that you can forget
there are no other instruments playing except bagpipes
and percussion. MP3
