Digital Single
A dynamic guitar arrangement by Christopher Dean
(Produced by Brian Baynes) of the main theme from the movie "The Last of the Mohicans"

Released as a single by Cairney Hill Music/December 2010.
Joining Dean on this album is world renown/award winning Highland Bagpiper Aaron Shaw, and Irish multi-instrumentalist Brian Baynes, who also produced the album. Baynes gained rave reviews from his production of Nollag Brolly's "Under a Pale Moon", which was noted by Irish Music Magazine as one of the top three Irish music albums released (in Ireland) in 2004.
