Andrew White - Pray For Rain

(July 2001) 12 tracks: Sandragon * Mysterious Ways * Talk About The Moon * Jerusalem * Within These Walls * Nothing More Than This * Woodsprites Desires * Summers Day * Holy Island * Down To The Sea * The Heirophant and the fool * Christy Whelan Sings.

Andrew's first album for Vertical is his most ambitious yet. Showcasing here not only the virtuoso guitaring for which he is rightly reknowned, but also his less well known talents as singer and songwriter * dark-edged vocals and stirring songcraft in soaring, dynamic compositions.

Andrew is joined on this album by many great musicians, including harmonica wizard Brendan Power, Karen Matheson (Capercaillie), flautist Michael McGoldrick, Charlie McKerron (Capercaillie, Big Sky) and James Mackintosh (Shooglenifty).

"Pray for Rain beguiles in a gentle, fingerpicked bluesy way - all sweet lazy melodies and sparkling guitar playing" (Scotland on Sunday)
