5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever Album by Dougie MacLean!, February 27, 2006

By 

Badger "Ian" (Scotland UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside the Thunder (Audio CD)

Having enjoyed his music for a few years now I'm so glad to have bought "Inside the Thunder" which ranks already with my all time favourites...right up there alongside Jackson Brown's "Late for the Sky", Joni Mitchells "Blue", Van Morrison's "Moondance" and Beth Orton's "Trailer Park"! The song lyrics are thoughtfully profound and yet beautifully poetic and the arrangement always fits the lyric perfectly...ranging from wonderfully layered rhythmic tracks with atmospheric and accomplished instrumental solos to simple, perfect acoustic guitar with vocal. Dougie MacLean's voice is so distinctive and positively addictive and this album is the man at his best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gift from a gifted musician, March 29, 2006

By 

Celticgirl (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside the Thunder (Audio CD)

Dougie MacLean's newest CD is wonderful, a true mixture of tunes which personify the man's huge talent. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Any fan of Dougie's will be pleased with this new CD. It is all Dougie, but not at all like his previous work. This CD offers a fresh approach to his music. From the tractor on Strathmore to the sorrows heard in Song For Johnny, it is a brilliant collection. If you keep up to date with his website, you know how wide this artist's fan base is, from six to ninety-six, people are drawn to the man's music.
For those who aren't familiar with Dougie's distinctive sound, just take a moment and listen to the clips provided. At times wistful, at times upbeat, Dougie's lyrics are always thoughtful and thought provoking. His music is indeed Celtic but it speaks of universal ideas.

Once again Dougie gives us another collection of songs which sparkle!
With not a dud in the bunch, the listener roams a wide range of stories, which can inspire, relax, invigorate, challenge...
Production and instrumentation is sharp and clean, with Dougie's voice as strong as ever. Highly recommended for all who love a good song which says something, unlike the throwaway rubbish mostly seen in the record shops. While it is a crime that Dougie isn't a monster star, if you are here, you are in the know and the better for it; for his (music) is for the discerning music lover, simple yet complex, not flash but...Dougie is truly one of the world's most gifted singer-songwriters, who happens to write in the celtic folk rock vein. Enjoy this new one!
Just saw him last night and live is where he is really in his element! The man & his guitar - solo, interacting with the crowd and making everyone have a great night!
Go see him soon if you never have and if you have, he is still one of the best.
Cheers!
