notes
Dewar and McLean's signature sound was a familiar part of the California Celtic music scene for most of the 1990's until their parting in 1998. Although they have gone their separate ways, "Seeds Upon the Wind" remains as a lasting reminder of those days.
Known for their rich harmonies and unique arrangements, this first (and only) recording offered the duo a chance to experiment with studio techniques. The result is a sound that is fuller and more complex than their stage performances, while still retaining an acoustic purity. About half of the songs are originals, co-written by Dewar and McLean.

"Thank you so much for sending me "Seeds Upon the Wind." It is a lovely album, redolent of peat and mist and heather."
Morgan Llwellyn, author
“Seeds Upon the Wind is filled with harmonic splendor. Dewar & McLean have captured the full range of emotion with their combination of traditional Scottish & Irish tunes."
Valley Music News
"I particularly enjoy the strong harmony of Dewar & McLean and the way their voices blend so well, especially when accompanied by only a guitar or bodhran in such songs as Ode to a Scottish Sailor, or The Mingulay Boat Song. Another high point is Tuireadh Iain Ruadh--A Lament for Red Ian, one of my favorite Gaelic tunes, sung in Linda Dewar's lovely, clear voice. The album ends, as all good ceilidhs should, with the unofficial Scottish national anthem, The Flower of Scotland, complete with a verse in the Gaelic and a rousing accompaniment by bagpipes."
