Roseanne Reid

Roseanne Reid’s world has changed in some dramatic ways since she released her hugely acclaimed first album Trails, and not just because of what she calls the “weird dream” of the lockdown years. But those changes have only helped to inform its delightful follow-up, as the widely admired Scottish singer-songwriter invites us to Lawside.

The album is named after a residential district of Dundee, near where the family lives. “Someone said to me the other day that Lawside almost sounds like a country and western title,” jokes Roseanne. “Most of the songs were written here, and it just felt right to mark that, and group them together for where they were written.”

Soon will come the challenge of combining family life with hitting the road, but she will achieve that with her usual warm-hearted serenity, and the opportunity to see her
perform these new songs live will be something to seize. Lawside is a place that Roseanne Reid’s countless admirers will be visiting again and again.
