Frame, Roddy
Western Skies
Aztec Camera was essentially a band in name only with Roddy Frame the leader, singer, songwriter and guitarist. The group signed to Glasgow's seminal Postcard label when he was just 16 and he scored his first major hit with "Oblivious" taken from his Rough Trade debut album "High Land Hard Rain" in 1983. This album is Roddy's third solo release. It follows a similar pattern to 2002's brilliantly received "Surf" released on the Redemption label in the UK. The 11 tracks feature delightfully soulful, emotive vocals from Roddy, expertly crafted songs and Roddy's accomplished, immaculate guitar work.
