RANT by Wicked Tinkers
With this, their sixth CD and over 80,000 CDs sold worldwide, Wicked Tinkers have confirmed their place as pioneers of the Tribal Celtic Music movement. Highland Pipes, pounding Drums, Didgeridoo and Bronze-age Irish Horn are still here aplenty but on "Rant" they explore new territory with more adventurous arrangements, the Uilleann or Irish Pipes, new songs and friends.
