Where it came from
Karine Polwart's Scottish Songbook was released in 2019 under the artist's own label, Hegri Music. The project grew out of a series of live performances at the Edinburgh International Festival, where Polwart aimed to reinterpret traditional Scottish music through a contemporary lens. She sought to strip back these storied compositions to highlight their enduring relevance, often focusing on themes of social justice, resilience, and the landscape of Scotland.
The album was arranged by Polwart alongside longtime collaborators, including producer Pippa Murphy. The design and production philosophy prioritized intimacy and authenticity, stripping away modern artifice to showcase the vocal delivery. Upon its release, the collection was well received by critics for its respectful yet innovative approach to heritage material, successfully bridging the gap between historical folk music and the modern singer-songwriter tradition.
