RODDY WOOMBLE The Impossible Song & Other Songs (2011 UK 12-track CD album - Recorded at his local arts centre, An Tobar in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides, 'The Impossible Song & Other Songs' follows his acclaimed solo debut 'My Secret Is My Silence' [2006]. Roddy began writing & demoing the songs at An Tobar with local guitarist and singer Sorren MacLean in January 2010. Then in the summer of 2010, Dublin bassist Gavin Fox [Idlewild] and Glaswegian drummer & singer Gregor Donaldson [Sparrow & The Workshop] arrived in Mull and with Sorren & Roddy; the four piece recorded the bulk of the album. A multi-faceted singer and songwriter, Roddy has a broad palate of styles & influences and so the album moves from folk rock ['Work Like You Can']; to country ['New Frontier']; to upbeat horn-led pop ['Roll Along']; to indie rock ['Leaving Without Gold']; to the dark, jazzy 'Between The Old Moon', all held together by his soft Scottish baritone and thoughtful, often mysterious lyrics. Lyrically the album touches on themes that have often cropped up in Roddy's work - the troubled alliance between Nature and Man, the onset of modernization and the end of old ways, what it means and what is worth giving up in order to achieve it.
