 Notes  
     James Yorkston was born in Kingsbarns, a small village in Fife, Scotland.
     At the age of eight, he started playing music and fell in love with the
     craft. At 17, he moved from Fife to the larger city of Edinburgh with his
     girlfriend. It was at that time that he became involved with a garage rock
     and punk band called Huckleberry, with Yorkston as the group's bass player.
     In 1996, he performed his first acoustic show after a friend working in a
     record shop picked Yorkston as an opening act for Bert Jansch in Edinburgh.
     The acoustic and punk rock genres were something the musician loved
     equally, but he chose the acoustic folk route.
     Since his debut in 2002, each James Yorkston album has been a
     semi-structured unspooling of the mind and heart, captained by a host of
     disparate producers yet threaded together in one lifelong narrative. Each
     collection is slightly evolved, bearing different sounds, stories, and
     personnel, but intrinsically connected to his life and personal mythology.
     As a folksinger, one of Yorkston's talents is to make it sound loose and
     easy when the truth is that few artists are able to carry on this kind of
     meaningful and distinctive conversation for so long without wearing out
     their welcome on the barstool.
     For his eighth album, the colorfully titled "Cellardyke Recording and
     Wassailing Society", he recruits Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor to steer the ship
     with fellow Fife native KT Tunstall weaving her voice throughout this
     compelling, though quite lengthy, collection. Opening number "Fellow Man"
     acts as a sort of proclamation, introducing the cast of voices, characters,
     and even concepts, with the song's refrain 'I'm full of love for my fellow
     man' resurfacing again on the wonderful spoken word depiction of a nosy
     neighbor, "Guy Fawkes' Signature". Examinations of love, anger,
     forgiveness, fatherhood, and life in his small Scottish seaside town
     comprise his lyrical content and are delivered with his typical mix of wit,
     obscure poeticism, and outright frankness.
     From the pagan dreamscape of "Red Fox" to the humanity of "The Very Very
     Best," Yorkston delivers his tales, his problems, his joys, and his
     observations with an earthy and honest enchantment. As the evocative,
     Watersons-esque title suggests, Taylor's production presents Cellardyke
     more as a group recording, with himself and Tunstall providing harmonies
     and even lead vocals throughout. Fiddles, electric guitar, double bass,
     percussion, and additional vocals from a crew that includes fellow Fence
     Collective alum the Pictish Trail and longtime collaborators Jon Thorne and
     Emma Smith lend to the album's live, familial feeling. Still, this is
     Yorkston's world and story, and his gently picked guitar and rough-hewn
     voice provide the heart of yet another fine release.
