Love Is The Way Released: 09/10/08 by Eddi Reader
Since the early 80s Eddi Reader has helped to define the landscape in which folk artists and singer songwriters navigate. Her incomparable voice and positive outlook have been a much loved fixture in the British music scene since her band, Fairground Attraction, hit the charts with the song 'Perfect' in 1988. After Fairground Attraction's breakup, Reader ventured onto a solo career, to the delight of both fans and critics, most recently with the afore mentioned 'Songs of Robert Burns'. With 'Love Is The Way', Eddi continues to fly the flag for folk and traditional music. The intimate recording process was facilitated by engineer Mark Freegards in his little studio in Glasgow, above the Glasgow to Helensburgh trainline. The recording sessions were originally earmarked for extra tracks for a 'Best of Eddi Reader' record, but Eddi was so taken with the results that they were achieving that the decision was elected to scrap the best of and proceed with a completely new record.
Available from Rough Trade, Amazon and many other fine retail outlets. To hear an album sampler, visit Eddi's Myspace.
