Invariably I enjoy most a solo troubadour singing their own song. There’s a glorious tension there which is invariably ruined the moment anyone joins in. This is the exception. Beautiful.

This is as near perfect as it is possible to get.

[@ruthkenneally9492]

Just discovered Kris and been playing him on loop for days. Sent his tunes to my 24 year old daughter and she's in love. Thank u Kris cxxx

[@djpete2009]

Discovered him at Celtic Connections 2019 at the Fruitmarket. And its Nonstop Drever fest!

[@1nfiniteSeek3r]

He fronts the band Lau, which also frequently give goosebumps.

Five years later, and your comment still rings extremely true.... WHHHYYYY indeed????!!

[@JamesMLawton]

Lovely. Quite reminiscent of Dougie MacLean, that mixture of lyrical ballad and anthem, and beautiful melody. Yes, Lovely.

[@cheerydavie]

[@drummerboy1390]

Good grief. What a voice.

[@henrywoolley4934]

Think I was mesmerised at the Brunton in Musselburgh some years back

[@lynneceegee8726]

Stunning.

[@jlb4]

this is as good as it gets

[@susanrichardson9417]

Aah! the roots

[@Lixsna]

I don't understand how this wasn't a huge hit. (In Ireland anyway). I don't remember ever hearing it over here at all, apart from a recent cover version by Pauline Scanlon. If he had released and promoted it over here I'm certain he'd have a monster hit on his hands.

[@fannyingabout]

Magic.

[@paulbarks1473]

Song's called Steal What We Can

[@annedunne4526]

He's got such a beautiful voice. Why is the Scottish accent so sexy?

[@billhdowne2382]

Esp true now in the USA

[@KingofRoath]

This is currently my favourite song. Anyone know the chords & tuning? I'm fairly sure he has dropped the bass to D.

[@ursuladyson1609]

couldn't leave a comment before... can i now?

[@MrColinhunter13]

K Dawg is baeutifully rare!

[@najibtapio4119]

Who's the vibesman @ 1:25 and on? Serious.

[@aegier]

Heidi talbot appearsto be there to add some perfect harmony maybe.

[@dublindave78]

Which bawbag clicked the dislike button? Ootside noo!

[@Toupret]

The songs strength shook em. They didn't know what they did. Xxxx

[@abrown61]

[@pdif]

Drever McCusker Woomble? What were his parents thinking?!

[@sebd8302]

lol, no...

[@jandavis1130]

Kris Drever, John McCusker and Roddy Woomble .

[@Lumiet]

I prefer Roddy than Kris, but it's very very beautiful

[@pdif]

ah, you'll never know.

[@TheFruitbatMusic]

anyone have basic chords for this? PLEASE

[@KrisDreverGuitar]

I do, I'm going to start a chord and lyric library on my website very soon. Feel free to sign up to the mailing list or subscribe to my channel for news of its release.

[@crewbernian4149]

@@KrisDreverGuitar sounds good, been trying to figure your chords and patterns from videos (ghosts, ...try hard enough, ...roll in the morning) during lockdown - it's actually good fun!! see you in musselburgh later in the year fingers crossed :-)

[@theboss1967able]

heidi talbot having to read the lyrics is poor poor show (2:34) and what the hell is she doing there anyway.

[@MsExistent]

Beautiful
