Description
Award winning Scottish folk singer Emily Smith and talented multi-instrumentalist Jamie McClennan present an enchanting album of songs by Scotland's National bard Robert Burns.
Award winning Scottish folk singer Emily Smith and multi-instrumentalist Jamie McClennan present an enchanting album of songs by Scotland's National bard Robert Burns.
Having grown up only a few miles from his Dumfriesshire home of Ellisland Farm, Burns' music played a huge part in the musical heritage of Smith. Emily's crystal clear vocals, lyrical accordion and piano lines combine with the sensitive guitar and fiddle accompaniment from New Zealand born McClennan to make 'Adoon Winding Nith' one of the most original albums of Burns material available.
There is a happy, optimistic feel to this album. No broken hearts, no sad endings, just songs celebrating love, beauty and good times. From the delicate 'Gowden Locks o Anna' which Burns said was "the best love song I ever composed in my life" to the jolly 'Whistle o'er the Lave o it', Smith and McClennan display their versatility as a duo occasionally underpinned by the bass skills of Duncan Lyall.
250 years on Burns' musical legacy still inspires and entertains people throughout the world.
In 'Adoon Winding Nith' listeners can find an appealing perspective on his work whether new to Burns or a life long fan.
