The U.S. album debut from musician/composer Steve McDonald, SONS OF SOMERLED, is an ambitious homage to his bold and brave Scottish ancestors. Keyboards and synthesizers provide adventurous backdrops and contemporary music merges with the spirit of the past to create this unique musical document for all ages. The traditional Scottish melodies "Soldier's Lament," "Scotland the Brave" and "Wild Mountain Thyme," pay tribute to Scottish elders and new material salutes their proud heritage and looks to the future. This enhanced CD is compatible with both IBM and Macintosh formats, and features nine minutes of photos, liner notes and an interview with McDonald.
