Meic Stevens, often referred to as the "Welsh Bob Dylan," is a prolific singer-songwriter renowned for his contribution to the Welsh music scene and his influence on the folk genre. Born on March 13, 1942, in Solva, Pembrokeshire, Stevens began his music career in the 1960s, releasing songs that blended rock, folk, and blues, but with a distinctive Welsh flavor. Though predominantly singing in Welsh, Stevens has also recorded tracks in English and is known for his poetic lyricism and a voice that carries the emotional depths of his songs.

Stevens' most recent works showcase his enduring artistry and commitment to his cultural roots. Albums like "Love Songs" and "Meic A'R Gerddorfa / Meic And The Orchestra" demonstrate his range from tender ballads to rich orchestrations. "Outlander," perhaps one of his most acclaimed English-language albums, initially released in 1970, has solidified his international cult status. With "Ysbryd Solva," Stevens pays homage to his hometown, while "Mihangel" and "Er Cof Am Blant Y Cwm" continue to reflect his contemplative nature and social consciousness. The evocatively titled "Ware'N Noeth (Bibopalwla'R Delyn Aur)" and "Disgwyl Rhywbeth Gwell I Ddod - 2" suggest his music's timeless quality, catering to an audience that spans generations. Meic Stevens remains a central figure in Welsh music, both as a paramount of the '60s and '70s folk scene and as a continually evolving artist.
