Review

These Old Blind Dogs have had to learn some new tricks. With the departure of longtime vocalist and venerable folkie Ian Benzie, in addition to other lineup renegotiations, Dog veterans Jonny Hardie and Buzzby McMillan are all that remain of the old order. In spite of the inherent need to shed the doubts and quibbles of long-time listeners, The World's Room takes these Scottish neotraditionalists in an exciting new direction while retaining the strengths of the band in its former incarnation. Jim Malcom, a fine melodious singer, admirably fills the shoes vacated by Benzie, while Rory Campbell's pipes and whistles flit and float and teen sensation Paul Jennings' percussion keeps the group within a tightly wrought framework. As ever, multi-instrumentalist Hardie's fiddle sings out sweet and McMillan's bass and cittern lend symmetry to the set's marriage of traditionals and originals, notably Campbell's "The Ritual" and "Soup of the Day," the latter a willy-nilly band jam to a funky pipe tune. --Paige La Grone
