    10: Horse McDonald
    May 24 2024
    Having pressed send on her 8th studio album (and 11th album in total) just hours before we begin, Horse McDonald is back at the starting gate raring to go, but as she soon reminds me in this candid chat, she’s in the same race as everyone else.

    It's all in the music for Horse, and she's still powerfully singing it out loud and proud some 34 years since her first album, 'The Same Sky' in 1990. In this episode, Horse shares the stories behind her long awaited and self-produced new album, 'The Road Less Travelled', her experience of grief and loss, frustration with the music industry and how singing saved her life. A must listen for Horse fans but a warm invitation too, if you're a newcomer, to learn about this Fife-born stalwart of Scottish music.

    The Road Less Travelled (Randan Music) CD and VINYL are out May 25th, 2024. See www.horsemcdonald.com if you would like further information or to purchase CDs or Digital Downloads.
