Ed Miller's 4th CD showcases all the reasons why this Edinburgh-raised, Texas-based singer has gained so many fans and friends at folk clubs and festivals through North America.Good songs well sung is his basic creed, and he remains a firm member of the anti-schlock brigade.The choice of songs on this recording reflects the variety of influences that have touched a performer who is equally at home in an intimate house concert or a large festival, and a singer who is on one hand an academic and on the other "a part of every song that he sings."
Older traditional songs, such as "The Rigs o' Rye" and "The Shearin's No' for You", sit comfortably with more recent additions to the Scottish repertoire by songwriters such as Brian McNeill, Alan Reid and Ian Davison.This combination is typical of a singer who is very much a product of the Scottish Folk Revival from the 1960's onwards.
Pour yourself a dram, sit back and enjoy - and join in the chorus.
