"Recently voted Scots Singer of the Year in the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, Beth Malcolm is a passionately open-hearted singer. Her second album is an extraordinary, lavishly produced and at times painfully honest coming of age narrative, as she retraces her sometimes rocky road to fulfilment. Between spoken-word links, she’s accompanied by a host of musicians, including guitarist and producer Dorian Cloudsley, fiddler Eryn Rae, pianist Alan Benzie, drummer Mark Scobie and the strings of the Sorcha Quartet. Songs range from the yearning of Meet Me By the Goretree, through the disillusionment of Ghosted and the wry realisation of Rolling Stone. There’s political enlightenment in her impassioned, solo rendition of The Worker’s Song before, ultimately, I Am Bound and The Mountain herald a powerful re-embracing of heritage and the natural world."
