I first saw Eddi Reader at “An Evening with Jools Holland” and from then on my interest was piqued.  She has a fantastic voice and vibrant persona. Well this year our Scottish crooner is back with the new album Love is the Way. The new single is Roses.

The video shows her walking around the field with her guitar, accordion and flute. The song has that happy , easy , toe tapping quality. It’s so sweet it will leave even your heavy metal companion melting. Her bio says she’s born in 1959. I had my mouth hanging open. She doesn’t look her age at all, and more importantly she looks gorgeous.

She is a nominee on the upcoming IMA (Ireland’s Music Awards) which I wrote about here. So cast your votes now.

You can go to her official site by clicking at the album art. Now I am smiling. I really am!
