Inspiration from McIntosh Ross....Nashville via the Scottish Borders

The Corn Exchange, Melrose, was rocking last night..( well as much as just over 100 grown ups could rock..the encore caused huge stamping and clapping though)  to the wonderfully pacey yet melodic songs of the husband and wife duo Ricky Ross and Lorraine McIntosh.  Formerly of Deacon Blue, the two are touring with friends forming a amazingly versatile band. Ricky talked about his experiences in Nashville, and the songs had such a Scottish feel but with a definite American country twang it gave me a real urge to find out more.  Experiencing the sound of McIntosh Ross was, for me, more than a foot tapping highly enjoyable evening... I has inspired to research and cook recipes from Nashville via the Scottish Borders...There's a Farmers Market in Jedburgh on Friday - it being the first friday of the month - so I'm going to see if I can get some local ingredients and cook some Nashville inspired recipes....
