Dougie MacLean Riof

Dougie MacLean's "Riof" is a wonderful collection of Scottish-themed singer/songwriter selections. It is wonderfully produced with gentle piano, acoustic and electric guitars, and numerous other instruments, many played by Dougie himself. His strong vocal interpretations joined with strong instrumentation make this an overall excellent piece of work. With his wife's paintings on the cover, his mother playing melodeon on one cut, and his son's percussion and technical assistance, this is truly a family enterprise. While it has some Scottish instruments and themes, this music will appeal to folk music enthusiasts everywhere. The heavily textured music and vocals are evocative of universal themes of love and longing. Dougie MacLean's expert wordsmithing have produced a fine collection of songs that won't stray far from the turntable.
