Product Description
From the Label
Jim Reid is without a doubt an outstanding singer and songwriter, and as a lover of the work of poet Violet Jacob, has set many of her poems to music, including the hugely successful "Wild Geese" (or "Norland Wind"), which has now become one of the classic folk songs of the twentieth century.
Jim was a founder member of the legendary Foundry Bar Band, after an apprenticeship in various Scottish groups including The Taysiders. His interest in the travelling folk is well known and he had a very special relationship with the late Belle and Alex Stewart of Blairgowrie.
Some of Scotland's finest musicians session with Jim on this album - Aaron Jones (cittern), Sandy Brechin (accordion), Marc Duff (whistle, recorder), Malcolm Stitt (bouzouki), Frank McLaughlin (guitar) and Ian Anderson (vocals).

Jim Reid - Yont The Tay,
By
This review is from: Yont the Tay (Audio CD)
Lovely album from the late Jim Reid - Great versions of "Mormond Braes", "(The Battle of)Harlaw" "Baron O'Brackley" "Sleepytoun" "My Bonnie Moorhen" & many others. This was Jim's final recording & a wonderful one at that. Love it! I bought it after getting hold of a copy of "I Saw The Wild Geese Flee" Jim's first solo album - made way back in 1984 - It's an album that really grows on you - & this new album is no different. Jim has a great voice. He was originally the leader of The Foundry Bar Band - think I'll be buying some Foundry Bar Band albums soon! If you like Scottish folk music - or just folk music in general - then I would recommend checking this album out - I suspect that you won't be disappointed.
