Elizabeth Stewart, from Mintlaw, is one of Scotland's foremost ballad singers who learnt her art from her family, especially her aunt, Lucy Stewart (1901-1982). She is a member of the Fetterangus Stewarts, a family steeped in the oral traditions of the Travelling People. Elizabeth is a gifted player of Scottish traditional music on the piano and, like her mother Jean, led a country-dance band from her teens.
This double CD, produced by Alison McMorland, features twenty-seven of Elizabeth's finest songs and ballads, plus four delightful sets of tunes. The CD booklet contains full lyrics and notes to the songs.
