5.0 out of 5 stars searching music, February 25, 2002

This review is from: Singing Land (Audio CD)

While "Singing Land" will never be my favorite Dougie MacLean album, I am still very glad to have it. Unlike his latest album "Who Am I" (yet to be released in America), every song on "Singing Land" is not a masterpiece. Yet they are all solid at the very least--with a few great ones thrown in for good measure.

"Singing Land" is the work of a post-Craigie Dhu Dougie. He still sounds comparatively young, while showing evidence of growth as a musician. All but two of the works here are his own compositions. The other two are his arrangements of traditional songs.

The songs that will stick with you long after you've turned off the music are: the title track; "Desperate Man" (which thematically reminds me of Craigie Dhu's "Seagull"); "This Love Will Carry"; and "Goodnight and Joy" (another stunning example of the wonderful things Dougie can do with the last songs of his recordings).

I admit that I am a hopelessly biased Dougie MacLean fan, but I still say you cannot beat this man's music. "Singing Land" is a disc full of beautiful, searching music. Get this disc!
