The brainchild of Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble, BALLADS OF THE BOOK began as a simple idea to bring together the literary talents of Scotland’s writing community with a diverse range of new and established recording artists. The album features tracks by Mike Heron and John Burnside, de Rosa with Michel Faber, Foxface with Rody Gorman and many more.
