YARD OF ALE - Tracks From The Shack

YARD OF ALE are a Fife based folk band, who have been on the scene since 1972. They’ve been a various TV shows, including New Faces & Thingnmmyjig.. The current line up features Colin McKenzie, Alastair McDougald and Peter Gillan.
Although a folk band, there’s a lot of Country interest on their new album “Tracks From The Shack”.
The 12 track collection, recorded at The Shanty Shack in Aberdour, features songs from Steve Earle (Galway Girl & The Mountain), Buddy Mondlock (Coming Down In The Rain), Steve Goodman (City Of New Orleans) and Rick Nelson (Garden Party).
Dave Smith , from Grass Routes (and ex Peacemakers/ Scots Country Comfort) adds pedal steel to “Flower In The Snow”. There’s also a good version of “Wagon Wheel”. And I liked the catchy original “Lay Our Money Down”.
Yard Of Ale may be a folk band, but they have a sound that blends into Country quite nicely.
