“My Father’s Songs,” perhaps the most personal song on Adamson's forthcoming album Landing Place. Recounting the relationship with her late father, Stuart Adamson (Big Country/The Skids), Adamson takes us on a journey of reconnection and remembrance.
Although the song is co-written with producer Dean Owens who conceived the melody and hook line during a morning meditation, it is clear that the story is uniquely Adamson’s. In the lines “Now I listen to my father with the wind howling through the trees/From hero's tales to pain and truth/Sweet Celtic melodies.” we learn how she “never knew her father until she sang her father’s songs.” The slide guitar solo echoes these sentiments played by Jon Mackenzie on Adamson's father’s Antigua Burst Fender Strat.

I can see many American artists picking up on this song particularly the country singers. The addition of a pedal guitar would be a fine addition to this most excellent song.

[@paulfowler6665]

Brilliant song that brought a tear to my eye. Big country are my favourite band and I saw them many times when Stuart was alive he even gave me his plectrum at one gig. How did I not find this before.
