Info for Selected Works

Selected Works compilation sequenced by Tom Rose featuring songs from Boo's solo albums and collaborations. Released to celebrate his 60th Birthday the album features new song The Language of Love and a new recording of the Radio Ballad "The Village Bell" with Kris Drever.

"The 20-track collection is concluded with Silhouette, a pleasant 1930’s pastiche, topped off with some soothing clarinet. It’s a most satisfying end to a thoroughly enjoyable compilation. Whether you’re a novice or an old hand, Selected Works is an excellent profile of Boo Hewerdine. Perhaps his 60th year will be the year that he finally gets the recognition he deserves."

"And then, in the end, ‘Silhouette’ is a slow-danced thought that contemplates the purpose of human existence in the guise of a simple folk tune. It’s a fitting end to an album that will, for an eternity (and beyond), listen to a nightingale and then sing songs about “The moonlight that plays on its wings”, while singing yet another of those ‘Crazy Man Michael’ “simplest of tunes”, that somehow, touch the deep pulse of nice melodies sung under the starry vibe of any full and very folky moon."
