Cross The Line
Throughout
a long and respected music career, Scottish singer songwriter, Sandy
McLelland has contributed to the artistic achievements of numerous artists
and projects all over the world. Capable and comfortable across many,
diverse, musical styles.
‘This music’ represents the culmination of a lifetimes' work.
“It's taken a long time to learn my craft, to find my real voice. It's taken
even more time learning to stay strong in what's important in my music. I
need it simple and emotional, a few chords, a real melody, some words which
mean something to me, hopefully to others.”
Often full and vibrant, sometimes achingly bare and personal, the all
acoustic sound of Sandy McLelland unashamedly pays respect to the American
country, blues, folk and soul music he absorbed in his early days in
Glasgow.
“I've worked everywhere in my time. All sorts. Pop, rock, film music,
symphony orchestras. Lots of it was really rewarding and stimulating, but
none of it left an imprint on me like the music I first heard when I was
young. It's in my bones, intuitive, immediate. Just feels natural and
connected. It's what I am. People keep asking why it's taken so much time to
give birth to this work. Simple really, I think I just didn't know enough
till now. Maybe I still don't.”.
