Neil Sedaka - Emergence - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ashley MacIsaac is a traditionalist with a penchant for experimentation. His ability to cross the boundaries of folk, punk, garage rock and metal all bound together by his astonishing fiddle-playing, branded him as an eccentric, an upstart and a pioneer. He is often remembered for lifting his kilt while performing live on Conan O'Brien, and coming out in the media while his debut traditional album topped the international charts. PRIDE is the first hard-core recording from the bad boy of the Celtic world.

One of America's greatest pop singer/songwriters, Neil Sedaka's career has spanned over five decades and has spawned many memorable hits; as a solo artist and hits he penned for other artists as well.
