Eddie Reader - 'In A Big Country' - Glasgow - 21/1/24

It's amazing to here this Big Country song, sung by Eddie with the Roaming Roots Review at the Royal Concert Hall as part of the Celtic Connections Festival.

A special recital, some we’ve loved and lost; who raised our spirits through the gift of song, still energising generations now, and to come.

Didn't realize Big Country made such a huge impact. Right On!

Sweet. It's nice the way she injects a bit of appropriate enthusiasm into the 2nd hand.

You can see sitting off the right of the stage Frank Reader & John Douglas of Trashcan Sinatras (TCS). First time I heard their song "Got Carried Away" beginning with a sweet ebow (think of "hold the heart") & then the lyric "was that a knock on an early grave, I've gone the wrong way to be saved" it made with think of Stuart Adamson, though there's no link. BC & TCS: two very different Scottish groups, but every now & then I'm inclined to listen to a bit of either. More BC these days because Frank (Eddi's brother) has a really good voice but sometimes it sounds too close to a Morrissey whine for me to dig it. Also, TCS are best doing laidback dreamy melancholic songs; they can't rock like BC, Stuart etc.
