This is a first preview of the video for “Oh Little Town” a festive song from my recent album the journey. The video was recorded in locations around Ross-Shire mostely in the last couple of weeks by Gordon Buchanan (www.struimediapro.co.uk). I plan to release this for Christmas 2012 next year. Would be great to hear your thoughts on it & if you like it feel free to share it with your facebook friends. Merry Christmas to you all folks…x
Davy Cowan’s songs encapsulate the essence of many of the stories and situations that have inspired him over the years: people, places, old memories, faces; journeys on trains, ferries, planes - and a clapped out converted Ford Transit minibus. The red morning sky; thunder clouds over the Cromarty Firth & her rusting meccano set oil rigs, which cast a menacing shadow across the shores beneath them. The Love and The Pain and the Beauty of witnessing offspring grow - ever evolving - linking the future with a long forgotten past which in our time now is destined to be!
With Davy’s many different musical influences, it’s almost impossible to pigeonhole his music into any one musical genre.
Within a mercurial melting pot of ideas and styles, his acoustic based contemporary Folk/Roots music - with its hints of Bluegrass, Country and Pop - still manages to retain an energy and spirit thats been ongoing through the years.
