Alyth McCormack - An Iomall ( The Edge)

Product Information

Alyth McCormack  - An Iomall

 This recording began a long time ago in my mind. I come from the Island of Lewis and loved being raised there. Lewis is exposed and weather torn and this is evident in its culture, but it is also beautiful and compelling. In this album I wanted to express these extremes which are also inherent in Gaelic song and Gaelic culture. The songs stand alone, so to work with them I chose a careful approach. Changing musical styles from arrangements don't always remain true to the spirit or beauty of the original. I have listened to the stories of these songs, and with these musicians, have interpreted them. The response is honest: the songs remain timeless.Musicians:- Alyth McCormack - vocals, Davy Trouton - piano, Jim Sutherland - drums & programming, Kevin MacKenzie - acoustic & electric guitars, Neil Harland - electric & double bass, Mary MacMaster - electro harp, Aidan ORourke - fiddle, Su-a Lee - cello, Rory Campbell - whistles
