Notes
The British folk revival that took place at club level during the Sixties introduced a whole new audience to traditional folksong, while also bringing to the fore the concept of the earnest young singer/songwriter. Given the grassroots nature of the movement, it was inevitable that regional scenes would throw up their own local heroes. In Scotland, the grizzled likes of Hamish Imlach, Matt McGinn and Alex Campbell would underpin the scene while providing inspiration for a slightly younger generation of talents (Bert Jansch, Gerry Rafferty, Billy Connolly), whose immersion in contemporary pop culture would enable them to make a greater impact on the mainstream. Featuring typically perceptive liners from noted Celt commentator Hamish MacTavish, Border Lands incorporates all the era's main players - the club raconteurs, the acoustic strummers, the folksong revivalists, the electric folk rockers - for a definitive look at the heyday of the Scottish folk scene.
