He may not be the second coming of Van Morrison, but 26-year-old Scottish singer-songwriter Nick Robertson unleashes his own appealing brand of "Caledonian soul" on this debut album. He`d better be bulletproof, because critics ought to have a field day comparing his pop/folk/R & B melange to Morrison`s "Tupelo Honey"/`"Astral Weeks" period. But Robertson could do much worse than be likened to Van. His album nicely mixes exuberant rockers ( "Mind Reader," "Slice of Heaven" ) with introspective, acoustic tunes like "She`s Looking Tired." Robertson and former Lone Justice singer Maria McKee beautifully intertwine their voices on "Pride & Joy." Despite an occasional close brush with lyrical preciousness, this is a most impressive debut.

There is next to nothing about Nick Robertson on the internet, so here are the facts as I vaguely recall them. Robertson was a young Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter who bore a vocal resemblance to Van Morrison and who released his debut (and only) album, Bulletproof Boy – with backing band Slice - on Circa Records in 1993.

He toured quite a bit with Deacon Blue and the Kevin McDermott Orchestra, and he was always excellent live. But despite his radio-friendly if (over-polished) soul-pop – and extremely magazine-friendly face - he appears to have disappeared without trace.

This duet with Maria McKee was one of the highlights of Bulletproof Boy, and hints at the high hopes many had for Robertson in the early nineties. His record company appeared to have faith – they sent him on a national signing tour of Our Price stores. To this day I regret not sciving off school to see him in Stirling; to tell him how much I loved his songs.
