Combining the technique of a classical vocalist with the emotive breadth of a folk singer, Scottish singer Eddi Reader has been hailed by the Wall Street Journal as "A clever, beguiling singer, whose gentle folk-pop songs resonate with compassion, intelligence and joy."

Highly anticipated, her sixth solo album, Peacetime, is a luscious, captivating album, bringing together some of the UK's finest folk musicians to perform a collection of beautifully orchestrated folk-pop songs. Produced by John McCusker and with help from the mighty pen of songwriter and guitarist Boo Hewerdine, the album masterfully melds earthy folk-pop arrangements with haunting orchestral overtones - all in service of Reader's angelic voice. Featuring special guests Ian Carr, Phil Cunningham, Andy Cutting, Roy Dodd, Boo Hewerdine, Alan Kelly, James Mackintosh, John McCusker, Michael McGoldrick, Donald Shaw, and Ewen Vernal.
