Various Artists - The Scottish Diaspora - The Music And The Song

This double CD is a Companion to the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry. The double CD (for the price of one) consists of 39 tracks selected from the Greentrax back-catalogue, licensed tracks and tracks specially recorded for the album, matching many of the tapestry panels. The tracks are as diverse as the Canadian song 'Scarborough Settler's Lament' by the late Stan Rogers; an aboriginal recording of 'Waltzing Matilda'; an Indian duo singing 'Auld Lang Syne' in Bengali plus the Scottish recording of this popular Robert Burns' song, which was part of the soundtrack of 'Sex and The City'; to 'The Corby Song' written by an unemployed Scotsman who followed employment, like many more, to the steelworks in Corby.
