Pourquoi Quebec?
by Tony McManus
It's very rare to find an album that you just know is going to be a classic from the first time you hear it. I'm sure, however, in ten years time or so when we are looking back upon the influential albums from the late millennium "Pourquoi Quebec" by Tony McManus will feature highly. That much maligned instrument the Celtic guitar, more often than not reduced to being a mere backing tool for the frontline instruments such as fiddle, accordion, and pipes is brought to the fore here in all its majesty, and goodness how it shines.
