Kris Drever

Detailed Description

RELEASED 28th JULY 2008. For the first time a full band performance of the classic album "Black Water" recorded in concert in January 2008 for Celtic Connections. Featuring Ian Carr, Roddy Woomble, Donald Shaw, John McCusker, Heidi Talbot, Andy Cutting, Ewen Vernal, Donald Hay and Karen Mathieson.

Orcadian singer-guitarist and member of LAU, Kris Drever's set comprised a full performance of his Reveal debut Black Water, which - having secured him the Horizon prize for best newcomer at the BBC Folk Awards, and a raft of critical raves - counts as an instant classic if ever there was one. Kris has a new album in 2009 and before that an exceptional debut with a new trio Drever, McCusker, Woomble (who debuted on the extremely successful That’s Proper Folk Sampler earlier this year) comes in September.

Reviews (Black Water):
"Kris Drever is a serious talent. As marvelous as it is timeless, this record puts folk back in it's rightful place. It's only when you listen to artists like Kris Drever that you realise just how vital and relevant Folk music is. Every song on 'Black Water' is a passionate tour de force. Black Water is an album that will be as relevant 25 years hence as it is today." - Mojo
