Scottish soul has deep roots in the history of Americana and Country music. Roseanne Reid has excavated this musical identity, exuding a quiet confidence and sparse authenticity that recalls some of the genre’s leading lights. The tone and the soul, however, belong to Roseanne and no one else.
Following a couple of acclaimed EP releases, she launched her debut album, “Trails”, from which the track “Amy” has won prestigious recognition. It triumphed in the Lyrics Only category at Nashville’s International Song Competition, chosen from 160,000 entries from 130 countries. Reid has also received a 2015 nomination at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
