Outlander was the first album by the Welsh singer-songwriter Meic Stevens, and also the only one featuring English lyrics. During the recording sessions at London’s Trident Studios, he was accompanied by an illustrious line-up of renowned studio musicians. It was released in May 1970 exclusively in the United Kingdom on the major label Warner Brothers and went on to become his most popular album. With its eleven tracks, the LP offers soulful vocals in bluesy folk ballads as well as full-band folk rockers and jazz-Indo-psych ragas, featuring Keshav Sathe (of the band Magic Carpet) on the tablas and Dewan Motihar on the sitar.
Following this, the „Welsh Bob Dylan“ returned to his native Welsh and spent the rest of his career recording for small independent labels. His debut album is now regarded as one of the finest lost psych-folk classics and fetches high prices on the collectors’ market as a rare original English vinyl.
