Info zu New Tomorrow

The name Dougie MacLean should need no introduction, he’s a Scottish living legend after all, so what better news than that he has a new album on the way to mark his 40th anniversary as a musician.

An album of new songs including the long awaited "Shadow of The Mountain" (about a volcanic eruption in Alaska!), the song for his grandsons "New Tomorrow" and "Wild and Windy Night" with choruses involving Dougie's audiences both at the Perthshire Amber Festival in Scotland and the Woodford Festival in Queensland, Australia.

The hand-picked selection includes Heiland Harry, Ca’ the Yowes, Green Grow the Rashes, This Love Will Carry, Till Tomorrow and of course, his enduringly popular love song to Scotland, Caledonia. Since he wrote Caledonia in 1977 it has become something of an unofficial Scots national anthem; it topped the Scottish charts and has been covered by artists as diverse as Paolo Nutini, Amy Macdonald and Ronan Keating. His music has been used in Hollywood films, most famously the track The Gael was used in the multi-oscar winning ‘The Last of the Mohicans’. He has also been the subject of three BBC TV specials. Dougie was BBC Radio 2’s Folk Artist of the Year in 2013.

"The album is a beautifully curated selection of songs including the title track ‘New Tomorrow’ … a timelessly poignant song written for his grandsons. It also features ‘Shadow Of The Mountain’, one of MacLean’s most popular concert songs and stories. He wrote the song in Alaska on tour and it tells the tale of the volcano looming over the town in which he was performing.

‘Wild And Windy Night’ is a modern take on a “night-visiting song”, the choruses feature audiences from MacLean’s own Perthshire Amber Festival and the popular Woodford Festival in Australia. This truly international track is a classic example of the charm of MacLean’s songs with inspiring verses and a lyrical chorus combined with innovative recording and production techniques."
