As recently announced, Eddi Reader’s brand new studio album ‘Cavalier’ will be released worldwide on September 28 by Reveal Records. Watch her video for live favourite ‘Wonderful’ (also our Song of the Day) on which she shared the following:
It occurred to me that there wasn’t much in the way of support for parents going through the young adult periods in their childrens lives. Learning how to let go and not control these people we gave birth too, who were now becoming adults, has been one of the toughest lessons I have tried to learn. This is my support. Learning to see all bother as ‘Wonderful and happening’. Letting go of control seemed to work in my house.
Cavalier was recorded and produced in Glasgow, Scotland by Eddi Reader and John Douglas and is a new creative peak in an already prestigious career, just under an hour of new music, incorporating both contemporary and traditional songs.
