    Capercaille's "Skye Waulking Song" from their album Nadurra mixes the traditional Scottish waulking song style with modern folk fusion elements. The song uses a compound time signature and features the fiddle, heterophonic textures, and a repeating refrain characteristic of oral waulking song traditions, but also incorporates modulation and fusion with other styles of Celtic and folk music.
