Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I was trekking around Scotland the last few weeks which was brilliant. I finished up the trip with a concert by Roddy Woomble in Glasgow. He was excellent and even sang some songs from Idlewild, but this song, in my opinion, summarizes the entire trip.

Trad Tuesday - Neil Gow's Apprentice sung by Roddy Woomble
Neil Gow was a Scottish fiddler and composer from Dunkeld born in the 18th century. This song was actually written in 1993 by Michael Marra and is a tribute to Dougie MacLean, modern day singer/songwriter from Dunkeld.
Roddy Woomble is the frontman for the Scottish rock band Idlewild and a well-liked folk singer/songwriter on his own. I happen to like him and his music in both genres. Usually, he is singing songs that he wrote himself and I compare his lyrics to Dylan Thomas poetry.
Bonus for Outlander fans: Roddy Woomble or Angus Mhor (Steven Walters) - You decide!
