ISLA GRANT - Faith, Love And Hope

Isla is one of Scotlans's top musical exports, selling out across Ireland, Australia & Canada. She is yet to achieve the success that she richly deserves from her ain folk.
Her latest album, on Ireland's CMR label (and distributed in the UK by Rosette) sees the gentle Borders based singer songwriter concentrate on the popular light gospel market. Across the 13 self penned tracks, Isla sings of family values and respect for God, without being getting too heavily religious.
Indeed, the format is the same warm style that we've become used to from Isla.
If you're already a big fan, you'll recognise a couple of tracks. "Will You Walk With Me", and her Christymas song, "The Dat That Christ Was Born" have been released previously, but there are still 11 new tracks on offer here.
My favourites would have to be the bouncy "He Walks Beside Me" and "Will You Walk With Me", together with "If Only This Old World Could Be A Peace".
