BOBBY WATT "HOMELAND"
Bobby Watt has made Canada his home since 1975, but his music
reflects the
character and history (both past and present) of his native Scotland.
When you
hear him singing, he is unmistakenly Scottish, and can be both
rousing and sensitive.
He is yet another example of how Canada's culture has been enriched
by those
who have chosen to live here. Some of the music is new, some of
it is old ... all of
it is evocative, highly listenable.

Douglas;
The Journey; The Call; Lovely Arran Maid; Deep In My Heart; Hush
