inspired and subtle artistry, captured live using no overdubbing, mixing,

Review (Dirty Linen)
"The good news is that Rick Stanley never left music at all. His latest effort is with his new band Border Lord, a traditional Celtic folk group with Irish harp, cello, guitar, flute, and whistle. Influenced by the old airs and tunes of Scotland and Ireland, Border Lord's music combines the harp (Stanley) and cello (Robin Pfoutz) in unique and clever arrangements using counter-melodies and rhythms. Stanley also sings on songs like "Beauty Is" and "Queen Ann's Lace." and his voice is rich and evocative. The standout track, perhaps, is "Bonny Brave Boys," a song inspired by Stanley's tour of Vietnam in 1965 and the numerous mothers awaiting their sons who never returned from battle." (Dirty Linen, #116, February/March '05)
