Scottish Music - Songs from a Scottish Heart

Hi there - this Blog is about a great album of Scottish music by The Sensational Christine Sparks.

Songs From a Scottish Heart was recorded to support our show at The Edinburgh Fringe in 2010. It was live acoustic Scottish music and was received well by both critics and audiences.

The songs on the album are:

Ae Fond Kiss
Caledonia
Cellar Door
The Massacre of Glencoe
The Walls of You
Black Horse and the Cherry Tree
Shift and Spin
Will ye Go Lassie Go
Summertime
You've got the Devil in You
MacPherson's Rant
Sunshine on Leith / Mother Glasgow
Loch Tay Boat Song
Wild Mountainside
My Love is Like a Red Red Rose

I will write a little about each song each day. The album will be available to buy online by the 20th of this month, February 2011.

If you like Scottish music, particularly acoustically performed then this album should be in your collection. Here is what Guru to the Stars, Watt Nicoll ( http://www.wattnicoll.co.uk/ ) said about Christine's voice:

• "Christine has the quality of voice that Burns' words deserve. Both are masters of exposing raw, natural emotion, creating timeless masterpieces. I have shared Christine's voice with a number of people who are aware of perfection in the human voice and all agree that Christine is as good as it gets."

There is a new album of Burns music being recorded by Christine Sparks, ready for release in April this year. You can also hear two of Robert Burns' most famous love songs on this album - Ae Fond Kiss and My Love is Like a Red Red Rose.

I will be back tomorrow with some info and a video link for Ae Fond Kiss.
