This is an essential CD for fans of Burns, MacColl or people who just like folk music.
Accompanied by just his plaintive, expressive acoustic guitar and banjo, Ewan MacColl bellows, croons, and roars his way through 23 Burns classics. Lesser covered numbers from Burns's vast catalogue are also included, and are often times some of the album's most entertaining moments.
MacColl's warm voice communicates Burns' songs with living force. In this recording the listener can truly gain much insight into the passionate heart of 'the world's greatest poet of the common people'.
