Idlewild's back catalogue of albums vary in style, for instance rock/pop/punk REM sounding (100 broken windows)to sublime folk tinged The Remote Part. Despite differing musical styles, lyrically these songs are always incredibly well crafted and thought provoking. Roddy Woomble's debut solo outing allows him to explore traditional and contemporary Scottish folk in more detail. Featuring guest artists, including his wife Ailidh Lennon from Sons and Daughters, this album is beautiful and perfect for a chilled out evening,with the notable exception of 'Whiskeyface' a brilliant and rousing ceilidh jig. The rest of the album evokes an atmosphere of log fires and cold autumn/winter evenings. Woomble's voice sounds great as ever, and is perfectly complemented by the guest artists. If you like Idlewild, or contemporary Scottish folk music, you can't go wrong here.Read full review
As a buyer of an Idlewild album, I liked his voice, but never knew about his liking for folk music. So this was a pleasent suprise. Choc full of folk stars like Kate Rusby, Karine Polwart and John McCusker it resonates between folk and indie rock in a very good way. One or two 3 star track ,but overall a great effort and I'm pleased to hear that Roddy's partnership with John McCusker will continue with a joint effort with Kris Drever out this year. If you're after trad folk , forget it,but if you're open minded to folk rock, then check this out.
