Roddy Woomble, singer with once-good-but-not-anymore Scottish guitar-slingers Idlewild, has announced details of his second release outside of the band. It's a collaboration with friends Kris Drever and John McCusker, and also features guest appearances from - deep breath - Norman Blake and Francis MacDonald (Teenage Fanclub), Phil Selway (Radiohead), Heidi Talbot, Donald Shaw (Capercaille), Andy Cutting and Michael McGoldrick.
Woomble had this to say about Before The Ruin, which is released next Monday, September 15:
"Kris and John each have such a different take on things like melody and lyrics, but we're all working equally on the songs together, so the whole thing feels totally new. And it's great getting to make another 'first' album at our age"
Here's a tracklisting:
'Silver And Gold'
'Into The Blue'
'All Along The Way'
'Before The Ruin'
'Hope To See'
'Rest On The Rest'
'Out Of Light'
'The Poorest Company'
