Duncan Ferguson: Monday Morning Blues
I said I hoped to hear more from this Highlander and he has delivered magnificently!
Duncan's newest album is once again a treasure, a beautiful blend of traditional Scottish music and modern day rock. The Highlander composes brilliantly, and this time around performs only his own material. And while I must say, on his previous effort the traditional songs were beautifully rendered, it’s obvious that Duncan Ferguson is much too talented to keep performing other material than his own. There’s not a weak song on this album and, like its predecessor, it leaves you with the feeling that it's too short.
But if you really miss the traditional songs, Duncan will make you believe that some of these songs are traditional. Tracks like Patrick and Daddy Sold Me should be traditional.
For a taste of something definitely different and better than most of the music out there, get a hold of this album!
