I would have thought putting a blues artist and a traditional perisan singer together would not have worked but how wrong could I be! Mighty Sam McLain and Mahsa Vahdat collaborated on an album Scent of Reunion: Love Duets Across Civilisations and the result is a truly superb album. Buy it, hear it *but perhaps not staeal it), you will not be sorry!
The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
