Keith Johnston - No Stranger to This Kind of Game

(September 2000)

Familiar as a member of the traditional group Calasaig, Keith Johnston's aptly named debut CD brings together a diverse collection of contemporary songs, tunes and ballads. Twelve great tracks from blues to country to rock and back again, at times thought provoking and emotive, at others, light hearted and fun.

"An album that will grow on you, and yet remain fresh in the mind"

"Singer-songwriter Keith Johnston debuts with No Stranger To This Kind Of Game, an exercise in diversity, with works ranging from blues to country to rock, songs, tunes and ballads, which swoop from tears to laughter, with time to provoke a thought or two along the way, and entertainment in every moment. Keith, who is better known as a member of the traditional group Calasaig, also brings together a powerful ensemble in support. Check out the emotion of Glen Affric and the wistfulness of Sun will Shine to see how Keith and his team get it right." (The Scots Magazine)

"The lyrics to these and the other modern songs are intelligent, the tunes catchy." (Green Man Review)
