The Best of (Album, 2023)

emma87 It's so hard to choose a favourite song! I own every one of Kris' albums and all of these 'Best of' tracks are favourites, along with many others. His music has been a big part of my life for more than ten years. Right now the favourite is Punchbag; so beautiful it gives me chills. This is a wonderful collection of old favourites and new songs; simply stunning. Favorite track: Punchbag.

Chris Impossible to choose a favourite, although the full version of The Bell That Never Rang is up there; LAU keep getting better and better, it's astonishing. I'd have included Farewell to Stromness here, but the fact that a 36-track compilation misses things out is a measure of just what a superb body of work this is.

Stewart Deas Kris is one of the finest singer/songwriters in the UK, and this album is without doubt a collection of his very best work Favorite track: Ghosts (Lau).

Neil S. Reddy The Best of... the man's never laid down a bad track. But this is certainly a great collection. A thoughtful, powerful singer songwriter with a sensitive and heartfelt delivery. To this day, one of the best live acts I've ever seen, translate to 'the record' with no loss of feeling or depth

warren wigutow What a monumental set! Making a selection of any kind would have been impossible for me. Kris Drever’s entire catalogue is a “best of” by definition. This is an absolute treasure.

Cottages and Beehives, Winter Sunset, Cornfield at nightfall, Drying Salmon nets, January flow tide, Must seem like a far cry, From the Townhead and street kids But they pay me the same mind, I made a mark on the ground, While I was watching the world turn around me, Catterline I anchor my easel, In the gales and the rain, I keep painting the same view, Nothing remains the same I made a mark on the ground, While I was watching the world turn around me, Catterline Waiting for the tide, And the shadows to grow long, God what a life, I hate it when our bodies go wrong I made a mark on the ground, While I was watching the world turn around me, Catterline
