The first release (originally from 1996) from Jim's own Greylag label is re-issued to keep this great performer at the forefront of Scottish song singers.
And that's as it should be if only to teach future singers how simply it can be to perform given a good voice, some passion for the music and the ability to select good songs that also bring across the personality.
Oh, and he plays most of the instruments too.
A class act!!
