2010 release from the Scottish singer/songwriter. Young Alasdair Roberts is an old hand at song craft and not just his own, but the songs of the ancients, the near-ancients and their friends. Over the past decade that he's been singing music in his own name, he's made a habit out of recording songs of his own and traditional songs with an equal amount of investment and urgency. After all, it's all music, always deserving of everything we have to give. Too Long in This Condition stands at the deep well of traditional songs, ready to plunge the murky depths at any moment.
