When Thomas Fraser died in 1978 he was remembered only as a shy fisherman crofter. Thirty years later he has been hailed as the most important figure in the history of British Country Music, with four superb collections of his work released on CD and honoured in Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame. No mean achievement for a man who never even played live in Shetland's capital Lerwick.In this beautifully filmed and evocative documentary for BBC Scotland his friends, family and admirers tell his unlikely story. And from his home island of Burra, a concert in his memory... celebrates an extraordinary musical legacy.Tracklist:From Istanbul To Athens1. The Gates Of Istanbul 2. Dark Night Of The Soul 3.
