Sons of Somerled
Sons of Somerledfeatures the sonic treat of densely layered synthetic instrumentation shot through with heavy-duty vocal emoting, recalling both fellow ScotsmanDougie MacCleanand the ballads of English pop starPhil Collins. Romantic in its notions of nationalism, war, and history,Sons of Somerledrecalls man's love affair with the sea, the bluster and pride of the likes ofBraveheart, and the all-consuming quest for the eternal soul mate. Such heady aspirations coupled with dreamy musical accompaniment speak to an audience hungry for the bittersweet passion of life writ by the unseen hand of fate.--Paige La Grone
