Teenage Fanclub fans are busy posting their lists of favourite albums for the year on social media as we speak. What that generally means is lots of records that sound like Teenage Fanclub and artists who they themselves hold dear. The Byrds, The Beatles, Tom Petty and other Rickenbacker faves. Music that won't frighten your grandma.
Kevin Robertson is an experienced trobadour in these matters from Aberdeen. He enjoys his own jingle jangle morning on latest album Magic Spells Abound, which displays nine of these carefully assembled ventures into yesteryear.
The songs here are versed in traditional values and go down mightily easily. Tailored for types with 5D and Shake Some Action near to the front of their record collections. At times you wonder whether these songs are Travelling Wilburies outakes. But please don't let that put you off A skillfully assembled and presented collection.
