Scottish songs, old and new - a couple of trad'l songs and 2 by Robert Burns; but mainly newer additions to the Scottish folk repertoire from the late 20th century. Great songs, well sung.
Bio / Background
One of Scotland's finest singing exports has re-recorded and brought up-to-date many of the standards in his repertoire, previously only available on cassette or LP. Produced and played on by Rich Brotherton of the Robert Earl Keen band, this is as fine a selection of Scots songs, old and new, as you'll find...all sung by a man with a voice "as smooth and satisfying as a good single malt." Accompanying musicians include Rich Brotherton, Brian McNeill, E.J.Jones, Cathie Ryan and Joel Guzman.
Ed Miller is originally from Edinburgh Scotland; but has lived for many years in Austin TX, where he completed a PhD in Folklore at UT Austin. He has steadily built a reputation as a fine and compelling singer (as well as a teacher), bringing his songs and sly humor to Celtic Festivals, Highland Games, concerts, clubs and folk camps throughout N.America.
↓ more ↓In 2003, he was chosen as one of the performers to represent Scotland at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC, and has often shared the stage with such Scottish "titans" as Brian McNeill; Alasdair Fraser and John Taylor. If you're looking for the Scotland of Brigadoon and Braveheart, this is NOT the man for you; but if you want to hear great songs sung well by a man keen to share the reality of Scotland with you, try Ed Miller. He also leads folksong tours to his homeland each summer for people who want to experience the songs and singers in their own home environment.

Scotland's best traditional folk songs, all in one album.theunabonger wrote on September 06, 2008
Ed sings many of the most popular scottish folk songs, including his renditions of the Burns' classics, "Green Grow the Rashes O", and "A Man's a Man" with a particular style and grace. Ed includes a few of his own songs, most notably my personal favorite inspirational folk song of all time, "At Home With the Exiles" and the Scottish socialist anthem "The John MacLean March". This in an album full of moving, thoughtful folk songs that will bring out the humanity of the people he sings about, as well as bring an occasional lump in the throat of the listener.
