MThis Autumn, Lorraine McIntosh and Ricky Ross from the multi-million selling Scottish group Deacon Blue, take new album Great Lakes on the road with an all-star band, under the name McIntosh Ross. After more than two decades in and out of Deacon Blue, Lorraine has launched a career as an actress while Ricky has been working as a songwriter for artists including James Blunt and Jamie Cullum. At the same time, writing, recording and performing their own music remains central in both their lives and the pair decided they wanted to make an album together of beautiful, meaningful and simple songs that they could call, justly and equally, their own. The result is Great Lakes, an album of supreme melodic grace and spiritual purity, which combines echoes of the duo's Celtic homeland with the country twang of the American south. Combined with some Deacon Blue favourites, this will be a real treat for music lovers.
