Runrig – The Stamping Ground (2001, Scotland)

Our next spotlight is on number 6 on The List, submitted by Almandine.

Formed on the Isle of Skye in 1973, Runrig was a much-beloved Celtic rock band that, among other things, was the first to have a song sung in Scottish Gaelic make the UK Singles Charts. By the time we get to this, their 11th studio album, they had long expanded their sound beyond traditional ceilidh/pastoral folk to be more folk rock, sung more songs in English than Gaelic, and had a number of line-up changes including lead singer Donnie Monro leaving (in 1997) and being replaced by Canadian Bruce Guthro. It apparently took a bit to get fans onboard with the change in lead vocalist, but this album brought renewed interest in the band (particularly across the pond) and it was ultimately their most successful. This album has even been played in outer space, taken onboard the space shuttle Columbia by American NASA astronaut Laurel Clark on the ill-fated STS-107 mission in 2003. The shuttle disintegrated upon re-entry but Clark’s CD copy was somehow found by NASA investigators in what little wreckage survived, in a field somewhere in Texas. Clark’s family presented the CD to Runrig, and the CD would later become part of a museum exhibition on the band (I’m not crying you’re crying).[1]
