Colin Macintyre - Island

2009 release from the singer/songwriter, better known for his releases under the Mull Historical Society moniker. For the recording of Island, he created a community feel that included contributions from King Creosote, the Mendelssohn on Mull Festival string players, local musicians, including members of his own family, the first ever recording from his uncle, who first inspired Macintyre to play, and Gordon Maclean, who runs the centre, whom Macintyre claims is an angel with side burns. Island is the stunning sound of a songwriter at the height of his story-telling powers, grand in scope but intimate in delivery. It features only acoustic instrumentation, the first time for him to do so, and is his most personal collection yet.
