Eddi Reader MBE is a Scottish singer-songwriter, known both for her work with Fairground Attraction and for an enduring solo career, which in 2003 saw her showcase the works of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns.
Her sixth solo album Peacetime, released in the UK in January 2007, was produced by fellow Scottish folk musician, John McCusker and features a few Burns composed songs, alongside brand new material with longtime collaborator Boo Hewerdine and Trashcan Sinatras’ John Douglas.
Peacetime follows one of the most successful records of her near-quarter century career. Though she has always dipped into traditional song – The Blacksmith from her beautiful debut solo record Mirmama; I Loved A Lad; Ay Fond Kiss and Jock O’Hazeldean with Fairground Attraction – this was something different: an album of songs by Robert Burns that came about almost by accident, became a word-of-mouth hit and soundtracked her long-come return home to Scotland.
