The Band From Rockall

by Calum & Rory Macdonald

Calum & Rory Macdonald - The Band From Rockall: The solo project from Calum and Rory Macdonald, founding members and leading lights in the iconic Scottish band Runrig.The Album reflects their strong feeling towards their Scottish Roots and all the heritage and emotion that unfolds in music they have recorded on this album is steeped in their tradition. In the CD sleevenotes Calum and Rory write "Rockall is an extremely small, uninhabited , remote rocky islet in the North Atlantic ocean, 250 miles west of the Hebrides. A symbolic marker, halfway between America and North Uist, half way between rock 'n' roll and the ceilidh house". Fans of the Runrig sound will enjoy this!

Title: Band from Rockall

Name: Pict
Review: You say "Fans of the Runrig sound will enjoy this" - I'm not so sure. This is NOT the Runrig sound. This is a strong hark-back to the 50's / early 60's , to Hank Marvin, to songs about railroads and marriage, about home. Yes, the ceilidh sound is discernible at times, but it's the period guitars, the clear lines, the basic rhythmic drums and crooning harmonies that really make the atmosphere on this album. It's a slow grower, listen and listen and listen and you get hooked in. It's totally sincere and personal, and the no-fuss retro arrangments let this through in a way that the big Runrig sound doesn't. Calum sings a lot, and makes a more than creditable job of it. This is Rory and Calum's album, lovingly crafted, brave, exposed. This is not Runrig. Buy it.
