If you’re not familiar with Kris, you might know the Drever name from Kris’ father Ivan, known for his role as lead singer of the Scottish folk powerhouse Wolfstone. Kris follows in the family tradition of musical genius with his first solo album “Black Water” released back in 2007.

Kris’ singing and guitar playing are nothing short of amazing. If you’re a fan of folk songs, whether they are Scottish, Irish, American, or of any other persuasion, this is a CD for you. Despite the fact that this CD is pure Scottish folk, it will appeal to others who may not be as thrilled with fiddles and bagpipes and all that. Kris is self-taught in many respects, and the creativity and artistic license that this allows is very apparent in “Black Water”, both in the singing and instrumentation.

You will recognize some old favorites such as “Green Grows the Laurel” and “Patrick Spence”, however Kris’ arrangements give these tunes a fresh flavor. The CD definitely speaks to those who love pub sessions, as you could spend hours listening to these tunes over a pint.

If you haven’t heard Kris’ music to date, this is the place to start. You will be instantly hooked.
