"this is music that slowly charms rather than immediately stuns you, taking time to work its way under your skin. Once there, however, its lovely, understated melodies, autumnal arrangements and warm, wry lyrics".- Guardian Unlimited.
James Yorkston is primarily a singer / songwriter and his musical background has encompassed everything from garage punk to country rock. He grew up in a small village in Fife, Scotland, and has been a long-time participant in the famed local Fence Collective.
This is his third album recorded with his trusty sidekicks Reuben [accordion/concertina], Doogie [double bass], Faisal [percussion/lap steel], and Jon [fiddle] who accompanied James on both his previous albums. Also singing with James is the wonderful HMS Ginafore, from the Fence Collective.
