Dougie MacLean with Kathy Mattea - Turning Away

[@Namssorg1]

I'm an American 20 year old guy. Like many of my friends we've been looking for music like this. What a beautiful sound.

[@joetbaudino7720]

great taste young man, you have a good ear LOL

[@leahtamar8000]

My dad was in the Kathy Mattea band from '89-'96. He never did this particular series, but he did a couple tours with Dougie. I am very blessed that I got to grow up with this music.

[@howardhawksley1355]

I was captivated by this song having viewed this session on a video during a holiday on the Isle of Wight in the late 1990’s before I knew who Dougie McLean was. Heard it again performed by the band Ceolas outside a pub during a Crewe and Nantwich folk festival years later, bought their CD learnt the song. Fast forward over a decade and I am living in Scotland playing this song in folk clubs, seeing Dougie in concert and even get the chance to perform on the open stage of his autumn festival.

[@BethelAbba]

My favorite song of Dougie's hands down... I remember walking the streets of Las Vegas listening to this song on my IPod and thinking about how true the lyrics were in contrast to the glitter and sham that surrounded me. I put the song on repeat and listened to it for the next few hours as I roamed around taking in how scarred that city seemed underneath all the shiny neon.

[@Littlewing4201]

It's beautiful when the insight downloads so potent and clearly in those kinds of places... I always say that a Garden is most needed in the cruelest of cities...than anywhere... The Heart looks for Sanctuary through the storm OOXOO

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I have known Dougie for over twenty years. He's a wonderful, amazingly talented man. My life is far richer for having him in it!

[@dougieturnbull7207]

Rhonda Wertz Like yourself i know people who know Dougie and he has love and friendship for all, hope to meet him one day x

Had forgotten how good Dougie is. Great songwriter.

[@CelticSlavicEurasianGirl]

I had the privileged of seeing Dougie perform at the Aronoff Center for the Arts Downtown Cincinnati several years ago. While I was waiting for a cab to go home. He had come out front. Got to meet him. Very nice, humble man.

[@gordfisch]

In sea-arch of confirmation. The dobro is pure gold. Love this song!

[@suesmith2289]

This song makes me cry. EVERYtime! If there is such a thing as ethnic dna this must be proof!

[@jmcfintona999]

not all the songs on Transatlantic Sessions work but this what its all about pure gold

[@LochMeikle]

Good News. Transatlantic Sessions Original Series (Series One) now available on PAL DVD - at long last

[@nicolasdelaforge7420]

Brilliant singer/ songwriter, discovering him just now; so unique

[@LochMeikle]

Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever". All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.

[@jacobsgranddaughter]

❤️❤️Beautiful song! Echoes of truth!

[@johndalessandro6433]

Dougie seems to be a humble man, who writes great songs!

[@mythtree6348]

he's a really nice man in person :)

[@kiltedkiller8178]

Saw him at HebCelt 2017.. I remember this song being played there and man idk how to explain it, he had talent!

[@AnnalisaGrace1545]

Wow. This song blows me away. I just discovered him by complete accident on the internet today. What a blessing! And as a budding songwriter, his lyrics are so on point. Wow.

[@WVSunbird]

Love this! Thank you for posting this exceptional performance!

[@jacquesbrelfan]

truly great song great blend of voices . backing band not too shabby either !!!

[@bdmac100]

Celtic spiritualism at it's best. Well done.....

[@redmud69]

This is music. Wonderful music. How can you hate? Listen or turn the page.

[@bdmac100]

This is one of the great songs of the real Celtic tradition and well done by all concerned. The Celtic spiritualist, John O'Donohue would be well pleased I'm sure. Than you.

[@playintherain03]

his music is like magic. saw him in concert tonight and I'm glowing. :)

[@emmymorris7648]

[@tygywoo]

And my favorite, Donal Lunny on bouzouki.

[@Jonnay1986]

Anybody remember a fantastic BBC programme about Dougie Maclean and Kathy Mattea... Broadcast in 1996 I think. I have it on VHS tape somewhere. Is it on DVD..?

[@sigung01]

I am already very familiar with Jerry's consistent presence on the transatlantic sessions, it's one of my favorite things going, but I thank you nonetheless for mentioning it. Had I NOT known, I would have really been missing something.

[@sigung01]

Jerry Douglas on Dobro Woo Hoo!!!

[@BrianTrudeau]

Should it be of interest, Kathy Mattea is involved in the filming of a Transatlantic Sessions series 4 30 Jan - 01 Feb. No idea who else is attending this time.

[@rdvqc]

You can't miss the "magic dobro" of Gerry Dougas

[@TheEvilis]

[@jakesimms8866]

[@sarahleach9997]

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@Sunambra]

Jonnay1986 I'm sure I saw it on the Dougie Maclean website

[@alistairewen7005]

look up transatlantic sessions

[@fikretm.zabtcoglu6052]

All Original no electronics crap, genuine.

[@ButterflyMcGrew]

I've loved this song since I heard it for the first time 20 years ago. Recently I've started learning how to play the guitar and if I can't find the chords for a song I can sometimes figure them out just by listening to it. However, if a song starts out in Fm I can't yet extrapolate where to go from there. I have looked in Chordie and Ultimate Guitar but can't find chords to Turning Away. Can anybody advise me?

[@ButterflyMcGrew]

Never mind, I'm just going to transpose it to something that's easier to play and fits my voice better anyway. :-)

[@hornth40]

Paula Steiner Yes, Fm is a tune very difficult for guitar. Even the professionals avoid it and use a capo!

[@louisduplessis1730]

Purists like you , Celtic or otherwise sure can be pain sometimes , I have read this kind of affected comments elsewhere as well.

[@skipy936]

@Albertan1956 & them some!

[@Indianart1]

Anybody have a link to Back to the Island by Dougie?

[@gavinrussell9242]

mermaid aye dougie is doon tae earth and his lovely lass jenni ! meickleor hotel has a couple of his pound coins over the bar too lol

[@_i_am_unceded]

⭐⭐⭐👁️🙏👁️⭐⭐⭐

[@StephenLight-x-World]

Celtin Thunder FTW

[@tiggy748]

does anyone know were i can get a dvd of the original transatlantic sessions .. please help, thanks Stu

[@Bantoo_Prime]

Who wrote this song? Was it this man or Celtic Thunder? I only ask since both do an amazing job of it

[@steelcitywriter]

Dougie MacLean wrote this song--and this isn't even the best version of it.

[@Wizzywig2009]

Can be either DADGAD or DADF#AD i use latter

[@celticphox]

Anyone know who the bodhran player is?

[@Sunambra]

Im sure Dougie is playing in standard tuning here

[@long2granger]

Kathy Mattea, a consummate musician, playing with other consummate musicians too bad the mixing doesn't allow us to hear her wonderful voice

[@ubuibiok]

[@wisdomknowledgeandsk]

First time hearing the original... literally haven't heard halfway through this song before. Always listen to Mary Black. The United States has inflicted more injuries on me than I can sustain. I am a perpetual slave. And even if I manage to elevate my circumstances, I will always loathe those who took away my right to work, my right to think freely, those who drugged me and kept me from real healthcare for years, and are headed toward trying to again as I write this. Cause you can't win with... well you can. Calling my medical doctor later today, seeking help. Transgender. But I gotta have balls. F**K THE UNITED STATES!! In daylight we're oblivion... holy shit I didn't even realize how much this song fits me. In darkness... it's dark outside right now all right xD. Only the children of our children know, the price we had to pay. I know if I don't pay it, next generation will be even more afflicted by the Empire than I have been. I don't think I'm going to. I'm too much a pussy. But I know I should. When I figure out how to make it count.

[@jimlong653]

Dead on. I am sorry you had such a dismal experience. You expressed the sentiment in the political experience of this country I was feeling when I was listening to this song. Wishing you happiness.

[@moragmacgregor6792]

So sorry for your heartaches. I hope things are better now.

[@brownkevi1]

Shame! Including Kathy Mattea in this fundamental Celtic (east Atlantic) song turns this into sometihng Gulf of Mexico or Pacific! Then the words are wrong. Come on Dougie, get it right, man, for fuck's sake.

[@e2k42]

LOL - wtf?? Kathy Mattea is pure Appalachia, which is Scots-Irish to the roots. Where are you getting Gulf of Mexico or Pacific? Are you seriously telling Dougie to get his own song "right"??? You're a funny guy.

[@_i_am_unceded]

Honor and Respect But, Phug Goff Kevin. Really. Fck off Karen.
