An Edinburgh based singer-songwriter whose writing cuts across a number of styles, encompassing Americana, folk, country and blues, Tom Fairnie, has built up a considerable reputation on the Scottish folk circuit. Over in Austin, Texas, Grammy nominated producer, Merel Bregante, came across Tom's music, was inspired by his songs and invited him over to Austin to record. In the studio he worked with a stellar cast of musicians who had previously played alongside the likes of Doc Watson, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Jackson Browne. Lightning In The Dark is the result, an album of breathtaking Americana with Celtic influences shining through. It's a delicious fusion of styles. Tom Fairnie's gift as a songwriter, and the easy-going but thought provoking lyrics make this a stand-out album.
