Scottish folk singer Louis Rive takes the listener for a walk through North-East Glasgow on his new EP, Dear Green Place. The city has seen better days, with the majority of its inhabitants living in poverty - the average lifespan is 56, but Rive points to the beauty that is still there.
He loves the stories that people are telling each other and dreams of a better future for his city. He is always happy to return to his place of birth, with a fresh stack of songs that he wrote while on the road. Glaswegians could not wish for a better ambassador.
Dear Green Place is a self-released EP. Buy it from his website.
