Long considered one of the great 'folk' voices of our time, Dick Gaughan is universally acknowledged as one of Scotland's most outstanding and uncompromising musicians - his vocal prowess, instrumental virtuosity and intelligence as a composer are legendary. This collection spans the best part of 30 years, and reflects all these skills. His exceptional voice and outstanding ability on the guitar perfectly complement the traditional and contemporary songs and scintillating instrumentals on this outstanding compilation from the Topic and Greentrax archives. No anthology of Dick's work would be complete without his seminal and inspirational Both Sides the Tweed which closes the album.
