There's a lot of folk music on it and there are two classical songs and two songs from the 20th century, so it's a great big mixture of stuff. It's produced by Troy Donockley who does classical music of his own which he composes, but with Celtic instruments, with a Celtic favour, so it's really fantastically interesting for me. Really quite a departure.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"It is no exaggeration to describe Dickson as a great singer. She stood out a mile among the Scottish folk singers of her generation, and she has consistently shown her class when performing for a wider public. From the first notes of Garton Mother's Lullaby to the last strains of Eriskay Love Song, 'Full Circle' maintains those fine standards. Dickson takes each ballad in her stride, ably produced by Troy Donockley, who also contributes moody uillean pipes.

These forty recordings over two discs gather together many rare recordings taken of Barbara performing in the folk clubs of the late '60's and early '70's. The songs have been taken from a variety of sources and as a result the sound quality does vary, but they represent a fascinating snapshot of Barbara from the very earliest days of her career. ''There's a song by Gallagher and Lyle, there's James Taylor, there's a lot of songs that I chose to sing at that time, because I was never entirely committed to singing traditional music,\" Barbara says. \"A lot of people I knew only sang traditional music, but I didn't feel that way. I just had a fairly Catholic taste in music and I think it comes over in the choices of the songs on this double CD. I'm very proud of the choices I made and the songs that I chose to sing.\" Included are the original versions of many favourites in Barbara's repertoire which she has chosen to revisit in recent years including 'Jamie Raeburn', 'The January Man' and 'O'er the Water tae Charlie'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chariot Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50482937889099,"sku":"2029902","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/B4_Seventy-Four_The_Folkclub_Tapes_6917002e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727558349"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/barbara-dickson.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
