FOLK MUSIC OF THE PUREST AND FINEST SORT
 Dougie MacLean |
Mondays frequently begin with a lingering malaise, the aftermath of weekends gone well (or poorly) or the general
urgency of a new week encroaching quicker than one might like. If there a zillion clichés about this day, they surely
find their roots in lived-in truths many of us experience. Well, few things shake off that malaise better than a sweet
song or three delivered with earnest conviction, something simple yet striking down to things deep. And few offer
up better music of this sort than Scotland's Dougie MacLean. We present two classics and a recent tune from MacLean's expansive
catalog to help ease you into a new week a touch more gently. Even if you've never been to Caledonia there's something universally touching in Dougie's
wistful reverie.
