On this episode, we revisit the lush landscape of the guitar and bouzouki as lead and accompanying instruments. Although frequently maligned by traditional music purists, the guitar and bouzouki have found a firm foothold in traditional Irish and Scottish music in both lead roles and as backup instruments.This week, we feature the following bands with exceptional guitar and bouzouki players: Randal Bays and Roger Landes, John Sherman, Deaf Shepherd, Dervish, Kevin MacLeod & Alec Finn, Marla Fibish & Jimmy Crowley, Dick Gaughan, Liz Carroll & John Doyle, Chulrua, An Tua, Steph Geremia, FullSet, and Beth Patterson.
