After the success of Davie’s debut album Love so Strong on the Brechin All Records label in 2020, he has followed it up with another brilliant collection of songs and tunes in Ballantrae Bound, displaying his many talents as a singer and musician - Davie plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar and ebow - and also his great skill as a crafter of beautiful, clever, catchy songs. His breadth of vocal dexterity spans a huge range, from traditional Scots song to modern pop and rock, but without ever losing sight of his Scottish roots.
Along with several of Davie’s own songs and tunes, the album features some classics by Ayrshire’s most famous son, Robert Burns, a song by the great Ewan McColl, Jim MacLean’s wonderful “Stirling Brig”, and “The Dunes of Dunkirk/Hearts” - a collaboration with Gordon Menzies, one half of legendary folk band, Gaberlunzie, as well as a breath-taking fiddle solo, “Bruce Robert Burton”, by Ayrshire fiddler, Alistair McCulloch. Other guest musicians feature on bass, drums, keyboards, fiddle and bodhran on various tracks.
