A 'first solo album' from the MacDonald brothers, long the power behind Runrig.
And there is lots of power here to keep you toe-tappin'.
As all of the songs are written by the lads you can assume there's a 'strong' likeness' to Runrig but this might also appeal to a broader audience.
Well worth a listen.
