Caledonia - Some Further info:
This year Scotland celebrates
the 250th Birthday of Robert Burns
(Scotlands greatest poet) and because of
this 2009 has been designated Homecoming
Scotland year. The Anthem of the event is a
song called Caledonia, (originally a
70s Scottish folk ballad written by Dougie
MacLean). The song has been recorded by a variety
of Scotlands top artists and this version
sees Jackie adding her own unique voice to the
patriotic homeward call to all Scots abroad.
The song was recorded
and mixed in Scotland at The Citrus Factory and
mastered at Parrothouse Studios in Spain. It was
arranged and produced by Steve Thiebault and
features Scotlands own Willie Logan on
guitars.
It was
fantastic collaborating again with Willie and
Steve, says Jackie. Theyre
both such amazingly talented people and Im
really delighted with our original take on
it.
Jackies
classically romantic interpretation of
Caledonia creates the perfect
combination of the Scottish and Nashville sound.
Listen for yourself and see if you dont
agree.
