Dick Gaughan - The Definitive Collection (2006)

Richard Peter Gaughan (born 17 May 1948) is a Scottish musician, singer and songwriter, particularly of folk and social protest songs. He is regarded as one of Scotland's leading singer-songwriters.

Long considered one of the great 'folk' voices of our time, Dick Gaughan is universally acknowledged as one of Scotland's most outstanding and uncompromising musicians - his vocal prowess, instrumental virtuosity and intelligence as a composer are legendary. This collection spans the best part of 30 years, and reflects all these skills. His exceptional voice and outstanding ability on the guitar perfectly complement the traditional and contemporary songs and scintillating instrumentals on this outstanding compilation from the Topic and Greentrax archives. No anthology of Dick's work would be complete without his seminal and inspirational Both Sides the Tweed which closes the album.
