Grace And Pride: The Anthology 2004 -1984

This double album has 38 tracks taken from each of the band's 15 albums, including previously unreleased, ultra rare and long deleted tracks.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Britain's leading Celtic band, Survival Records present the double CD anthology "Grace and Pride". The album has 38 tracks taken from each of the band's 15 albums, including previously unreleased, ultra rare and long deleted tracks.

Throughout their career Capercaillie have drawn on two great strengths to inspire them. The first of these is the astonishing musical dexterity of the various fiddle, whistle, flute and pipe players who have performed with them over the years, lead by the accordion and keyboards of band founder Donald Shaw. The other foundation of the band has been the peerless voice of co-founder Karen Matheson, described by Sean Connery as having "a throat that is surely touched by God".

Universally recognised as one of the finest Gaelic singers alive today, Karen's exquisite voice has been at the centre of the band's music, whether breathing new life into 400-year old Gaelic songs or bringing her luscious vocals to the band's contemporary compositions.
