	Living Tradition CD review of Sandy Brechin - Out Of His Box
		This is probably what turned him into the beast on the front cover, but two of the side-effects seem to be a brain exploding with great tunes and an uncanny control of his fingers.
		The music is certainly intoxicating, but although Sandy Brechin may be guilty of playing the accordion "while under the influence" he certainly can't be accused of doing it "without due care and attention".
		Every note is spot on, and there is a degree of control (a word which keeps coming up) in the music which is all too rare in folk accordion players: no racing away with a tune, and nothing so fast that the music gets blurred.
