Jerry Holland’s first recording, from 1990. It was originally only available on cassette but a CD version is now available from Jerry Holland’s website. It is a superb album with a great feel.

“A Session with Jerry Holland” ~ & friends

Dedicated to the late John Morris Rankin, fiddler, piano player & bassist (The Rankin Family) and one of the fine Cape Breton musicians featured on this recording. The recording is of a gathering of friends around music ~ Jerry Holland, John Morris Rankin & Dave MacIsaac, all fine folk and musicians.

John Morris Rankin, member of the ‘Rankins’, died, age 40, January 16th, 2000, when his truck plunged into the ocean at Whale Cove, near Margaree Harbour…

NOTE: This isn’t Jerry Holland’s first recording…

Thanks to ceolachan; I didn’t realise that putting a composer’s name on the listings prevented the system linking to tune transcriptions.

Nice work prouse… 😎

That’s strange ~ 😏 ~ I thought there were more of these already transcribed on site here. I’ll have to check, maybe there are differences in the names? ~ alternate titles?
