Scottish born singer Shelagh McDonald was part of the late 1960s British folk scene and recorded
two excellent albums in the early 70s with production not unlike that of Nick Drake. With favorable comparisons to
Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill, larger success seemed right around the corner for this talented young woman. Then she vanished.
It's still unknown whether she went back to Scotland or elsewhere entirely, but now her musical catalogue is
back in print, prompting renewed interest. Perhaps she'll come forward at last to receive the royalties she's owed or, if we're lucky, step onto the stage once again.
