Have recently stumbled across the excellent new album by Julie Fowlis. Not your average recording - it's a Scottish album sung in Gaelic containing a beautiful collection of folk songs inspired by and relating to the Outer Hebrides.It fascinates me that the artist is from North Uist, which is remote even by Hebridean standards! For me this is part of the attraction - having spent a brief spell in the Hebrides last September (see here) I can see how the beauty, the landscape, and the isolation can inspire.
A beautiful location has led to a wonderful album - enjoy, it could be one of the sleeper hits of 2007.
