Roll The Dice


An act who are no strangers to audiences in the Central belt are ROLL THE DICE, and it’s great to see Ian & Trish release their first full CD. “Restless Legs” features a broad mix of Country old & new, tried & tested numbers, and originals.
The production is first class, their voices work well on the chosen tracks, and Trish’s accordian just adds that little something to the finished product.
There are 15 tracks on the CD, including covers of Kathy Mattea’s “18 Wheels” and Pam Tillis’ “Don’t Tell Me What To Do”, to classics like “Heartaches By The Number” and “Walking After Midnight”.
There’s also four originals, from the duo’s own pen. “Does My Ass Look Big In This” has a good solid dance beat, and should go down well, as should “Mexican Dreams”, adding the accordian for really good effect. “Bad Boy” moves along quite nicely, whilst “Part Time Lovers” slows the tempo down. It a really nice song, which probably fits the CD better than in a live set.
Recorded in Penicuik, I was really impressed with this nice’n’easy listening offering from Roll The Dice. They’re never too far away from your club, so make sure you pick up a copy of the CD the next time you see them.
