This review is from: True and Bold: Songs Of The Scottish Miners (Audio CD)
This is as lovely, haunting and beautiful as any folk music I've heard. The songs are presented with the kind of compassion and empathy only a man like Gaughan could draw up. He knows these people, he admires them and he know they deserve respect and gratitude--not pity or dismissal. The bottom line, though, is that these songs are simply heartwrenchingly lovely and soulful. One listen to songs like "Collier Laddie" and you'll be as sold as I am on the beauty and dignity that can come from hard lives.
