Roddy Hart albums The formal debut album from 26 year old Scottish singer/songwriter Roddy Hart, which he co-produced with Paul McGeechan. Hart has toured and played shows in America (including South by Southwest), Japan, Spain, Ireland and the UK and opened for artists like legendary singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, Ray LaMontagne and Teddy Thompson. As well, he has recorded songs (along with Niall and Yorick of the Endrick Brothers) one late and rainy night in Glasgow with Ryan Adams and Brad Pemberton from the Cardinals.

He combines a bit of young Dylan with a Costello croon to convey a sense of melancholic regret on "My Greatest Success" while the romantic tale "One Thousand Lives" suggests a stripped down "For You" with a touch of Jeff Buckley. These nods to his influences, typical of a young performer, don't diminish Hart's accomplishments here. Another attractive feature is the disc's rich but not overly ...
