Gentle Giants - A Celebration of the Clydesdale Horse in Song
Genre: Folk & Traditional
Catalogue Number: CDTRAX271
Label: Greentrax
Released: 2004
A collection of songs on the specific subject of the 'gentle giants' - Clydesdale horses - sadly no longer part of the rural scene.
The project is produced by Robin Laing and consists of previously recorded songs plus others specially recorded and engineered by Davie Scott for the project.
This is a remarkable celebration of the Clydesdale.
