5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for any Dick Gaughan fan!, September 28, 1999

If I were stranded on a desert island with only my CD player, this is one of the CD's I would have to have with me. With everything from traditional ("Freedom Come All Ye") to rock ("No Cause for Alarm") to the Rolling Stones ("Ruby Tuesday"), Gaughan shines on this one! And for everyone, like me, who ever needed encouragement at a very low time in their life, "Sail On" is the one song you need to hear and pay heed to.

Gaughan has been a cornerstone of my collection since I first heard the mesmerizing,traditional Scottish folk album, 'No More Forever' which is still my favourite work of his. His guitar playing here is nimble and deft, and that voice capable of such a range of emotion, up there with the greats. It's really something to say that his version of.'Vincent Black Lightning' is superior to its author's, Richard Thompson. And his take on'Ruby Tuesday' brings an entirely fresh resonance to bear on a song that had died in the 60s. There's not a weak thing on this CD. My quibble with the ratings is only that I prefer the aforementioned & his outings with his early group, Five Hand Reel, which are well worth looking for.
