Album DescriptionIn the popular music of Wales, Meic Stevens is the defining folk and rock singer of the past 40 years. He is as important there as Bob Dylan in the United States, John Lennon in England, Caetano Veloso in Brazil and Serge Gainsbourg in France. Outlander, his sole English language release, came out in 1970 in the UK, and has never been widely available in the States until now. A diverse mix of folk, psych, and rock with a distinct Welsh flavor, Outlander has long been a sought after collector?s item. Stevens? recordings have been a noted influence on such contemporary Welsh groups as Super Furry Animals and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.
