Drag City's Alasdair Roberts and Scottish Gaelic singer Màiri Morrison have joined with Pete Johnston and his Canadian all-star band for their new collaborative LP. Remembered in Exile: Songs and Ballads from Nova Scotia is a collection of newly crafted arrangements of traditional Scottish songs pulled from the pioneering work of folklorist Helen Creighton (1899-1989).
Watch an all-new acoustic version of lead single "Màiri nighean Dòmhnaill" here, as Màiri and Ali tenderly reveal the spirit of the orginal composition, drawn from Helen's songbooks of collected Gaelic ballads that crossed the water to take root in the new world as Nova Scotian song.
Remembered in Exile: Songs and Ballads from Nova Scotia is out on LP/CD now.
Màiri, Alasdair and Pete will be on the road this October for a limited number of very special and intimate shows, so be sure to see these songs performed on the isles of their origin.
