"Wow! Not only are Battlefield Band prolific, they're also frighteningly consistent. 'Dookin'' is another stunning album release in a long line of stunning album releases!"
Toxic Pete August 2007, pre-release review

Dookin' is the Scots word for what you do at hallowe'en - as in 'dookin' for apples' and that is just what Battlefield Band have been doing for all these years – Dookin' into the great pool of Scottish (and Irish) music and song.

Indeed they have added to that pool with songs and tunes of their own, to the delight of all.After 30 years, and nearly as many solo and band albums, what can you say? There is always a continuity from one album to the next but, from this band of virtuoso and creative musicians, there is always something new and surprising. Newly discovered and self-penned songs and tunes - guests invited, not for their celebrity, but for their musicianship - new instruments and sounds.

Released: September 2007
