Nina Nesbitt has released a cover of Dougie Maclean’s ‘Caledonia‘ in advance of her appearance at BBC Scotland’s Burns Night celebrations on January 25th. It’s a beautifully evocative performance of the song that sees her join a long list of renowned Scottish musicians who have covered the song, including Paolo Nutini, Amy Macdonald, KT Tunstall and Nathan Evans. Nina says, “As a Scot currently living far away from home, ‘Caledonia’ is a song that means so much to me. It instantly transports me back to the place I grew up and reminds me how proud I am to be Scottish. It’s an honour to finally cover this song and share my own version, as so many Scottish artists have done in the past.”
And if you can’t wait for the 25th then you can catch Nina tomorrow night at the Americana Music Association UK Awards show where her album ‘Mountain Music‘ has been nominated for UK Americana Album of the Year.
