The first album to feature new lead vocalist Bruce Guthro, this 2002 outing from the Scottish celtic popsters is loaded with anthems, ambiance, and attitude. Several of the tunes are sung in Gaelic, but that doesn't diminish their immediacy in the least.
After a three-year layoff that triggered speculation about the existence and future of this popular Scottish band, they answered in resounding fashion with In Search of Angels. This album introduces new lead singer Bruce Guthro from Canada. He fills in more than adequately for the longtime singer Donnie Munro who departed after Mara to pursue other interests. Since Guthro sounds quite a bit like Munro and the songwriting tandem of percussionist Calum MacDonald and bassist Rory MacDonald remains in tact, Munro's absence appears less an issue than initially thought. Runrig returns to the more anthemic folk-pop sound of their '80s albums like Heartland (1985), Cutter and the Clan (1987), and Searchlight (1988). The lengthy, ambient approach that defined Amazing Things (1993) and Mara (1995) is noticeably absent on this recording. ~ Dave Sleger
Canadian Bruce Guthro stepped into the spotlight as lead singer of this longtime Scottish rock group at a time many had written them off...and they answered back with one of the best albums of their career! Short anthemic succinctness replaced the ambient netherworld that pervaded it's immediate predecessors, renewing the faith of their longtime followers.

| | Mark Knopfler Ragpicker's Dream CD (2002)
In Search Of Angels CD music
$8.75  
The low-key nature of Mark Knopfler's third solo album (discounting soundtracks) won't be a surprise to those who are familiar with its fine predecessor. The biggest change from SAILING TO PHILADELPHIA is the focus on traditional/roots styles. Throughout much of RAGPICKER's dream, Knopfler comes on like a one-man Harry Smith's Anthology, touching on folk, country, and blues. As often as not, however, he brings it closer to home with UK folk flavoring, as on the opening "Why Aye Man." He also displays more of a sense of humor here, on the old-timey "Quality Shoe" and the western swing number "Daddy's Gone to Knoxville."
The title track ...
| | Hatful Of Rain: The Best Of Del Amitri CD (1998) Germany
In Search Of Angels music CDs
$10.59 
It's likely that a large portion of the audience Del Amitri won with the lightly infectious, incessantly catchy "Roll to Me" thought of the Scottish group as a new band, not an outfit that had been recording for over a decade. That may be one of the reasons why Hatful of Rain: The Best of Del Amitri was released in 1998, a mere three years after "Roll to Me" climbed into the Top Ten. (It could also be that the follow-up, Some Other Sucker's Parade, stiffed on the charts.) In any case, Hatful of Rain is an excellent overview of Del Amitri's career, containing no less than ...
| | Unwritten Law Here's To The Mourning CD (2005)
In Search Of Angels songs
$9.09
Given how much Unwritten Law has bounced around between labels, the band acquired enough experience under its collective belt to make the solid execution of its fifth studio album, HERE'S TO THE MOURNING, come as no surprise. (The respect for UL's tenacious nature is such that No Doubt skinbasher Adrian Young checks in on drums for over half the album.) And although the first single, "Save Me (Wake Up Call)," has producer-in-demand Linda Perry's fingerprints over it, frontman and primary scribe Scott Russo still exhibits enough skill with his writing to have his group stand on its own merits.
Amid sinewy Alice in Chains-like rhythms and booming riffs provided by guitarists Steve Morris and Rob Brewer, ...
| | Dexter Gordon Daddy Plays The Horn CD (1955) Remastered
In Search Of Angels album
$8.49
Digitally remastered by Tom Moulton, Rick Essig and Greg Vaughn (Frankford Wayne Mastering Labs, New York, New York).
During a period of Dexter Gordon's (tenor sax) life -- when he was deep in the throws of chronic drug addiction -- the artist was miraculously able to reignite his career during the latter part of 1955. After several years of being out of the spotlight, Gordon resurfaced on the Big Apple-based indie Bethlehem imprint with the half-dozen sides that comprise Daddy Plays the Horn (1956). Joining him as key constituents of the credited Dexter Gordon Quartet are Kenny Drew (piano), Leroy Vinnegar (bass), and Larry Marable (drums). While the support team provides Gordon top-notch contributions throughout, it is unquestionably Drew who offers the most in terms of active interaction and his prominence can not be overstated. Nowhere is that as noticeable as the good-natured interaction heard on the disc's opener, the Gordon-penned title composition "Daddy Plays the Horn." In fact it could be argued that Drew enhances the tenor to the point of practically being a co-leader. The update of Charlie "Bird" Parker's bop standard "Confirmation" is taken at a steady mid-tempo pace, allowing plenty of room for the participants to have their say and not get in the way of the melody. Gordon seems considerably more relaxed and comfortable as he spreads line upon line of inspired improvisation. Drew is once again a real treat to hear briefly taking charge of the rhythm section. The pair of ballads on Daddy Plays the Horn are nothing short of stellar and stand as simple, emotive expressions unto themselves. "Darn That Dream" embraces the warmth of Gordon's tenor as his sensual phrasing leaves just enough space for Drew to sonically bridge the gap with his own unhurried and stylish chords. The generically monikered "Number Four" is anything but ordinary. The Gordon original jumps right from the opening and the ensemble lets loose with equally solid licks beneath his cool tone. Drew gets in the driver's seat missing nary a measure to reveal what could easily be his most tasteful contributions to date. The same can be said of bassist Vinnegar, who is briefly spotlighted on an efficient (if not somewhat sparse) solo. "Autumn in New York" -- the album's other essential ballad -- is proof that despite Gordon's addiction, he had retained ...
