Album Review - Sail On
In "Rock n Reel", Issue 27 Winter 96/97

by John O'Regan

When you're dealing with Dick Gaughan one encounters one of the most coveted and revered voices of recent times. A man whose vocal style is unique both stirring and spine chilling ... with the right material a lethal experience. Fortunately 'Sail On' has strength in adundance from Hamish Henderson's 51st (Highland) Division's Farewell to Sicily here given 11 spell-binding minutes and Pete Seeger's corrosive Waist Deep in the Big Muddy allied to some of his own songs, Son of Man and the title track especially standing out. A deft electric guitarist as well as pulling off some neat solos and possessing that unique voice Dick Gaughan has created his latest masterpiece ... it's called 'Sail On'
