Skimming Stones...Sinking Boats

by Iain Morrison

supported by

fellowestfinch My personal favourite from Iain's discography! I've heard "Broken Off Car Door" on BBC's Transatlantic Sessions and fell in love with it. The album's version adds so much additional melancholy with its sparse and minimal arrangement. Favorite track: Broken Off Car Door.

Marta Arroyo Perfect equilibrium between amazing lyrics and intimate music. And his voice... it's unique! Favorite track: Broken Off Car Door.

Sinking boats, I'd love to understand why it connects with me emotionally in the way that it does. Its beautiful.

Where The World Is Thin
by Kris Drever

supported by 6 fans who also own “Skimming Stones...Sinking Boats”

Saw Kris in London last night - solo show, and he achieved all the moody glimmer of the albums: the complex guitar work, rich singing and even foot-power percussion. Best of all he brought his keen humour to a serious folk temple and brightened the place up no end! Highlights- Shetland wedding march, Navigators, Scapa Flow 1919 & If Wishes were Horses. andannh

Love this album. Really evokes the atmosphere of rural life, love and loss. I listen to it as I put my 1 year old grandson to bed. stephenfs
