A bit of a rarity, Burns' songs in Gaelic, in fact a first for us, though there are lyrics are in English too. This is a kinda classy wee album, lusher than most and very tasteful indeed. Fresh is another valid description.
The 'lassies', when they are not in duet mode, split the chores with Shona singing in English and Katie in Gaelic. There is a fair cast of quality players in support and being 'quality' they know to let the voices sing and be heard.
Have a listen.
