This sixth album from singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sue McCreeth presents an eclectic anthology of some of her finest original recordings over the last 15 years, including the rim shot driven ‘Only Here’, the decidedly trippy ‘Nut Tree’, and the modal explorations of ‘Other Times We Fly’. Twice shortlisted for the International Songwriting Competition, there's also a quartet of new songs, all of which are highlights. ‘Keep This Love Safe’ is a ballad which packs real dramatic heft, while the enigmatically titled ‘Mother Sister Father Brothers My Man Child and His Mama’ documents the pain of not receiving love from within your own family, and the joy of finding it elsewhere. Recorded live at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, ‘Til I Am In The Wrong Place’ is a disquieting, brooding slice of urban angst. By contrast, the outer-spacious ‘Infinity’ casts a warm glow and brings the collection to a beatific close.
