Greentrax is delighted to announce that Barbara Dickson has signed a contract for the label, and will record a new album for release in the Autumn (date to be announced). Barbara will be yet another high profile artist to join Greentrax and once again completes a circle - June and Ian Green enjoyed Barbara’s folk club gigs in the late 1960’s and early 70’s, and met her socially when she lived in Edinburgh. Ian has followed her spectacular singing and acting career, and most of Barbara’s albums are in his personal collection. He highly recommends Barbara’s autobiography A Shirt Box Full Of Songs, recently published in hardback (see barbaradickson.net). Welcome to Greentrax, Barbara, we are delighted to have you on board!
Fantastic news! Barbara Dickson is one of the great singers - and over the past five years, with her return to folk/roots and her collaboration with Troy Donockley, she is making some of the best music of her long career. Few artists have done more than Dickson to introduce mainstream audiences to traditional music and her last two albums - Full Circle and Time and Tide - have been stunning!
