Dick Gaughan

"Outlaws and Dreamers" 2001





















Former Boys of the Lough and Five Hand Reel guitarist and vocalist Dick Gaughan continues his exploration of Celtic-tinged originals and covers on the 2001 release Outlaws and Dreamers. Crisp and fiery guitar work contrasts his strong, clear voice on Phil Ochs' "When I'm Gone and Si Kahn's "What You Do With What You've Got," as well as on the traditional "Dowie Dens o Yarrow." Most of the tracks are simply Gaughan alone accompanied by his guitar, with a few fiddle and concertina highlights from former Battlefield Band member Brian McNeill. After nearly 30 years performing music, it would be easy for Gaughan to grow dull and complacent, but Outlaws and Dreamers proves that he still has the same spark that was evident on his earliest releases. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide
