Album Review - Prentice Piece
Scotland On Sunday, 15 Sep 2002

by Norman Chalmers

Dick Gaughan is one of the most powerful, passionate, accomplished and singular talents to have emerged from post-war Scotland. Within this double CD of self-selected songs you'll find many of his more sparsely accompanied, delicately-expressed songs. Contemporary politics, historical iniquity, ballad, lament and love song, are all here - but why does he not include his moving Burns' "Westlin Winds"?
