Like many countries, Scotland underwent a roots revival in the 1960s. Folk music had declined somewhat in popularity during the preceding generation, although performers like Jimmy Shand, Kenneth McKellar, and Moira Anderson still maintained an international following and mass market record sales. A new wave of Scottish folk performers inspired by American traditionalists like Pete Seeger soon found its own heroes, including young singers Ray and Archie Fisher, Hamish Imlach, Jeannie Robertson, and Jimmy MacBeath. This book studies the revival of Scottish music in the second half of the 20th century including the Corries, Silly Wizard, Nazareth, Orange Juice, the Soup Dragons, and Idlewild.
