You and My Old Guitar

Thomas Fraser - You and My Old Guitar: Twenty five special tracks from the late great Thomas Fraser of Shetland remastered from the original family archive and newly discovered tapes. Thomas left a stunning legacy: thousands of songs recorded at home in his small croft house using a reel-to-reel recorder. Not music traditionally associated with Shetland entirely, for although Thomas could play fiddle and mandolin he was an exponent of the country and blues styles and his passion was the guitar. His tapes lay undisturbed for 25 years until his Grandson discovered them and inspired by what he heard, compiled a 25-track CD release in 2002 titled 'Long Gone Lonesome Blues'.  It was followed by 'You and My Old Guitar' in 2003, Treasure Untold in 2005, That Far Away Land in 2008 and Just Call me Lonesome in 2010.
