info 

A double CD compilation from singer/songwriter Tom Clelland of twenty-three remastered tracks put together from his earlier CDs and live recordings. They range from story songs based on tales of old Scotland to Tom's takes on country music, memories, simple pleasures and homages to his musical influences. Other musicians include Wendy Weatherby, Clive Gregson, Steven Polwart, and especially Davie Scott who arranged and produced many of the tracks. Tom Clelland has a pleasant voice, plays effective guitar, and has attracted some first-class instrumental support. But the real treasures here are the songs. The tracks on Handpicked are the most interesting, but the country vibe on Collected is never less than engaging and includes some classy songwriting and performance, with some very singable choruses.
