EDDI Reader MBE will be seen soon with Jools Holland in the new Zak Efron movie Me And Orson Welles, performing period songs from the Thirties.
Whether it be presenting the Great American Songbook, rediscovering the heritage of Robert Burns’s folk songs or, as on this set, showcasing hand-picked contemporary and self-penned vignettes, Reader is a delightful and precious Scottish national treasure.
If we end up with the summer optimists predict, Love Is The Way should be the album of choice for discerning stay-at-home Brits.
Always beautiful and forever dreamy, the indulgent Dragonflies, Sweet Mountains Of Love and the smoky It’s Magic are timeless, luscious recordings.
Likewise, Fleetwood Mac’s Never Going Back Again has been given a surprising makeover that incorporates Reader’s own Queen Of Scots.
