"In 2012, two of Scotland’s favourite folk musicians, Màiri Morrison and Alasdair Roberts, released "Urstan", an album of songs in Scots Gaelic. In the intervening years, both Morrison and Roberts have been busy: Roberts is one of the most prolific collaborators in folk music as well as one of the most highly-regarded solo performers, while Morrison balances her singing career with a parallel life as an actress and playwright. Subtitled "Songs And Ballads From Nova Scotia", it came about after the pair travelled to Canada in 2023 at the suggestion of Nova Scotian musician Pete Johnston to work on a collection of songs with transatlantic roots. Many of these ten songs were originally collected by folklorist Helen Creighton and display the direct links between the history, culture and language of Scotland and eastern Canada. There is a split between Gaelic and English language songs; Morrison takes the lead on most of the former, while the latter are shared." (KLOF Mag)
