"On record, The Wee Heavies' approach can be reverent or ribald. . .
tender and sonorous. . .whatever the mood of the song,
the voices blend warmly and in harmonic accord."

About the Album:
Times Long Gone is The Wee Heavies' second album. Produced by Internationally acclaimed Scottish singer, songwriter and performer, Brian McNeill, this collection of songs showcases the Heavies' dark and edgier side. While it features "heavy" songs about working men, this album will also take you out for a drink at the pub at the end of the day and then home for some quiet moments with that special someone in your life. Brian McNeill's instrumental accompaniment sprinkled throughout the album is a fantastic addition to the Heavies' a cappella sound.
