MALCOM ROSS
WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME
RE-ACTION

An active pillar of the Edinburgh indie scene since the late seventies, Malcom Ross originally formed Josef K with Paul Haig before joining Orange Juice and Aztec Camera. Very much like Edwyn Collins’ work, ‘Wrong Place, Wrong Time’ (a compilation of Ross’s solo material originally out on German imprint Marina) encapsulates well that fragile and seducing Scottish ‘savoir-faire’ where blue-eyed soul, white-funk and clean-cut rock’n’roll/country share the same stage.
