Album Description
Available in:
"The Impossible Song & Other Songs" is the third solo album by folk musician and Idlewild vocalist Roddy Woomble, released on March 21, 2011 on Greenvoe Records. Regarding the album's overall aesthetic, Woomble states: "My first two solo albums were much more low-key than this one and they were far more rooted in traditional Scottish folk. This record is a real change – it's more eclectic while still being part of that folk scene."
In the spring of 2008, Woomble moved to the Isle of Mull with his wife, Ailidh Lennon. Woomble notes: "We moved to Mull for the space, for the environment, but it's actually been the people that have been so important. My wife has family there. At first I knew no one at all, but the songs I've written have definitely been shaped by the people I've met. Sometimes I think it's odd how these songs came together quite quickly, then I think, well maybe it's not been quick at all, maybe it's taken me 34 years to get here and I just didn't realise it."
The album was recorded over four months at Mull's local arts centre, An Tobar, with Woomble enlisting thirteen musicians to assist in recording. Former Idlewild bassist Gavin Fox appears throughout the album, alongside other notable musicians, including Phil Cunningham, Lau's Aidan O'Rourke and Michael Marra.
The album's artwork is by author and illustrator Mairi Hedderwick, noted for her series of children's books featuring Katie Morag.
The album entered the UK album chart at #73.
