«Handful of Earth» is the fifth solo studio album by Scottish folk musician and singer DICK GAUGHAN. Containing an array of traditional and contemporary folk songs performed on guitar with open tunings, «Handful of Earth» was by far Gaughan's most political to that point, and was inspired by the political turmoil in Scotland following the Conservative Party victory at the 1979 general election. Recorded at Temple Sound Studio near Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. |
