Every song that's nevermore sung / will sound again upon the Evernew Tongue Whether we understand the reference in the line, it sums up Alasdair Roberts' approach as a singer and songwriter, now halfway through it's third decade. Down the years, he has devoted himself to the history of traditional songs, playing them forward into our ever-evolving world as their meanings continue to evolve within him. Whether singing the auld songs, using inspiration from a line of text, or taking a time-honored air as a starting point to a new song, he has pushed the tradition ahead in ways that few other singers and writers have approached.
