Details:
"What''s not to like? ...... understated, yet skillfully wrought songcraft, appealing melodies,intelligent lyrics and flavoursome delivery"
............wrote Scotland''s Sunday Herald when this little-known gem was released.

Nick Keir has been there and back in a 30 year career which has seen him as founder of now-legendary Folk/Rock band Finn mac Cuill, through agit-prop songwriter in 7:84,Scotland''s ground-breaking political theatre group to stalwart of The McCalmans who were this year''s "Live Act of the Year" in the Scots Trad Music Awards.

On the way he''s banged about the New York acoustic scene, become a favourite with audiences at Denmark''s major music festivals and taken the singing role of Bilbo Baggins on the Tolkien Ensemble''s definitive 4CD box-set of The Lord of the Rings, alongside Christopher Lee and the cream of Scandanavia''s classical musicians.

This is an Americana album with its roots in Scotland: Edinburgh in fact, and Keir''s love of the city shines through everything as he blends his timeless songs of loss, discovery and hope with a unique mix of the Celtic and the Transatlantic . The powerful trailerpark anthem "Save Your Soul" bubbles up through the ground preceded by a wild Hebridean Reel and the lone figure in "All Over This Town" walks the windy streets of Scotland''s Capital, not Manhattan.

Keir is joined by award winning songstress Emily Smith, the enigmatic Madelaine Taylor, bassman Aaron Jones and fiddler Claire Mann with Mississippi Ol'' Macdonald guesting on telecaster.
