Originally released in 1987, 'S tu nam chuimhne was a work of both consolidation and expansion for Christine Primrose. Her first album, 1982's Aite Mo Ghaoil, had laid the path for an eventual flood of recordings by a whole new generation of Gaelic singers.

With this second album, as well as adding to her formidable solo singing canon, Christine sings in tandem with her Temple labelmates, Battlefield Band members Alan Reid  on keyboards, Brian McNeill on fiddle and guitar. Dougie Pincock on bagpipes and whistle, and Duncan MacGillivary on mouth organ. Other tracks see Christine performing with jazz musicians, saxophonist Dick Lee and trumpeter Donald Corbett, and with her friend, harper Alison Kinnaird - a musical relationship which continues in Gaelic "supergroup" Mac-talla. Robin Morton's production is evident by not being obvious. As always, he seeks and achieves the best from the musicians and their music. Production rather than intervention.

This variety of settings reinforces the strength and honesty os Christine's singing. It confirms her ability to convey the meaning of a song through any language barriers. And, most of all, it showcases the tremendius depth of emotion that Christine brings - as all great singers do - to a performance.

In her taut, true phrasing Christine has always reminded me of blues singers such as Mabel Hillary and Victoria Spivey. The connection between Lewis and Louisiana may sound fanciful but if there is such a phenomenon as indegenous Scottish Blues, then this is it. - Rob Adams, March 1995
