Presented by Stephane Lerouge in a 16 pages booklet. “In 1969, Borsalino was my first great film as a producer and I met Claude Bolling. For me, that memory is unforgettable. Because the music brought as much to the film, as the film did to the music. Even today, no matter where I go, whatever the country, there’s always a piano or an orchestra that plays the Borsalino theme! In other words, my dear Claude, Borsalino and your music have made us both immortal... and they will survive us!” Alain DELON

The inspiration for this musical shindig springs from the foggy mists of mid-nineteenth century Appalachia. With tunes hailing from Kentucky to Mississippi, McCamy's Old-Time Rendez-vous resurrects the shadows of dueling gentlemen, lovers lost and cash on the barrel-head, taking US to the very heart of a musical culture steeped in old Europe and an enslaved African past. Vintage Americana is an invitation to a country hoedown and a journey to the heart of popular American music. Coming from a Scots/American background Ian McCamy's roots are deeply anchored in musical traditions from both sides of the Atlantic: From Scotland to Tennessee's Smoky Mountains, these ancestral paths are the core of his inspiration and are directly reflected in his personal style of fiddling.
