Considering how much I loved "Moving Up Country" when it came out, I feel a little shady for basically completing forgetting about James Yorkston for 15 years. Where's good to catch up? (apart from your playlist)

I adore "When The Haar Rolls In". Then I think there are great tracks on everything else.
I know friends who went off him came back with "The Wide, Wide River".

I really like The Route To The Harmonium, on which Tom Arthurs' trumpet works beautifully.

I too drifted away after the first couple of albums...everything was set in place with Moving Up Country and he never seemed to develop enough to keep my interest. Failure of my own weak attention-span I'm sure, I wanted him to progress like John Martyn in the 70s.

the cover of “Song for Thirza” from the first Yrokston/Thorne/Khan album is so staggering beautiful. just sitting here crying…

Realised I've bought but not really played "The Great White Sea Eagle" - certain I've never played it all the way through before but it sounds decent tonight.
