Since the release of his 2010 BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award-winning ‘Rags & Robes’ Ewan McLennan’s musical career has been in a continual ascent alongside a growing fan base. In 2012 he released Last Bird to Sing which further demonstrated his considerable talent as a songwriter, guitarist and singer. More recently, 2013 and 2014 have seen Ewan performing and recording alongside some of the world’s finest folk musicians on the latest series of Transatlantic Sessions, which featured both his self-penned and traditional arrangements.
Next month sees the release of Ewan’s 3rd and latest album, ‘Stories Still Untold’, an album which has been two years in the making and sees him produce quite possibly his best work yet. Featuring both new and traditional songs Stories Still Untold casts Ewan in the role of storyteller. Joining him are some exceptional guest musicians including Ross Ainslie, Beth Porter and Lauren MacColl.
Today we have a great video première in which Ewan provides a unique insight into the making of the album, watch it below:
