Davy Steele
COMD2071

Released in 1998, just before he joined Battlefield Band, this is a solo album from a fine singer/songwriter & musician who was well known on the Scottish music scene, having played and recorded with various groups over the years including Ceolbeg and the feted but short-lived Clan Alba.

The album offers a wide range of material, from songs by Scotland's bard - Rabbie Burns, through traditional songs, to Davy's own compositions. All have been received with great enthusiasm by the reviewers.

Musicians appearing on this album along with Davy include: Mike Travis, Nick Turner, Patsy Seddon, Aaron Jones, Brian McAlpine, Alan Henderson, Mary Macmaster, Rob Handley, Peter Haigh & Dick Gaughan

FOLK ROOTS
For me its his own songs that work the best and he now ranks with the best male vocalist in Scottish music, whether interpreting a Burns song or indicting the present-day ruling classes

TAPLAS
There isn't a weak movement anywhere. This really is Scottish music for the Millennium
