Eric Hisaw (pronounced High Saw) has been in the game long enough for one reviewer to describe him as a "journeyman" musician. There's no disrespect in that label, suggesting as it does someone who'll get the job done, and get it done well. After twenty years or so in the business you suspect the possibility of stardom has passed him by, but…

Originally released twelve months ago, Miracles On Christmas Day is set for re-release this December and there are probably those who buy albums to be dragged out at this time of year, as part of their own personal Christmas traditions. With nine original new songs, Miracles does benefit from avoiding…

Bluegrass like you've never heard it from a predominantly young band playing in a furious blur of energy, enthusiasm and skill.

I think this just might be a bit special; the story goes that Ally MacLeod, sometime film-maker, dance teacher and New York City resident, was back home in the Highlands doing some work with Martin Stephenson (sometime Daintee, all-round musical wonder). Discussing their shared love of country music, Martin asked Ally to sing him a song. I suspect he had to pick his jaw up off the floor by the time…

So, where has Graham Robins been all our lives? A man of mature years, it is safe to say, this is just his third album in 40-odd years of being a working musician - and it's really very good indeed.

If, on first listen, a bunch of songs can put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye, then these are the outward signs of a happy recognition that what I'm hearing is: a) my kind of music b) as close to a perfectly realised musical ambition as I'm likely to hear.
