Surprises at every turn

It's surprising what you find on your doorstep so to speak.Today as I arrived at work and checked the internal mail,I found a padded envelope containing 2 music Cd's.Not the usual thing that you expect on a Monday morning.I cast my mind back to who these could possibly be from and suddenly remembered.A certain bloke at Glenallachie Distillery who I had been talking to before Christmas,was telling me about his band (called Sons O The Soil).He said that he would send me some of their Cd's,but I had completely forgotten about them.

As I had a morning of driving to and from various distilleries planned,I took the opportunity to put the first disc in the car CD player and cranked up the volume.I've heard quite a few amateur bands in my time and generally there is only usually one or two tracks that are worth listening to.This CD was different.I don't know what style of music that they are trying to be,but whatever it is they are doing it right!

Personally I was reminded of Jethro Tull mixed with a bit of Staind and a smattering of Creed,but that's just my opinion.Take a look at their website here:

It was just the right music for driving around Speyside in the snowy weather.I may have to put it on my ipod for future listening.

Thanks Gordon for sending it to me!
