Anyone who has listened to Dougie knows that it's difficult to pick a favorite album. Each is very different, with unique character and stories to tell. But this is the album I sing along to the most, the one that lingers in my mind long after it ends. So if you're new to this artist, I recommend starting here. These songs meld sadness and beauty in such a compelling way that I imagine myself in them. They explain the heart of a people and individuals through difficult ages and powerful loves.It's tough to explain why this music speaks so much to me. My musical tastes range from alternative to classic rock to a bit of Christian. All I can say is, the quality and poetry here should be experienced by everyone...and it will naturally be appreciated.

"The poignant and passionate delivery of these tracks makes it easy to see how dedicated Dougie is to his music. This artist conveys oppression in such melodic terms, and the version of Burn's `Ae Fond Kiss' is the most beautiful I have heard. Dougie's music never fails to move me to extreme heights of awe. A talented musician indeed, and his vocals are so delightful to listen to. When it comes to Celtic music, I find Dougie's creations in a class of their own: absolutely addictive."
One of the best albums ever!

"A couple of years ago, I was introduced to music by Dougie MacLean. I found him to be absolutely one of the most moving and talented musicians I have ever had the priviledge to listen to.In short, Indigenous is one of the greatest CD's I have ever listened to. The music wraps around you and touches your soul. It is Dougie's best. I recommend this to Celtic and non Celtic music lovers. It is well done and an extraordinary work."
It gets NO better than this!

"I unknowingly was introduced to Dougie because of Kathy Mattea's cover of 'Ready for the Storm' which moved me deeply. That was years ago. A month or so ago I saw a television special about Celtic music, and Dougie was featured. I ordered this cd after watching that show. It is my goal to own all of his recordings within the next month. As I said above: It gets NO better than this."

"I recently rewatched the movie "Angel Eyes." for a Jennifer Lopez movie it was surprisingly very good - I was disappointed though, when I went to Amazon to check out the sound track - the woman who performed the song, who was quite good, was mentioned, but not the originator of the piece. It is a shame that Mr. MacLean was not given credit on the CD single which the singer put out. We need more people to "sing the praises" of the the Scottish Bard!"
