James Yorkston at Festivals

To call James Yorkston a folk singer is to miss the point by some distance and the fact that among his influences he lists Can, Jacques Brel and Linton Kwesi Johnson tells you something about the diverse and innovative approach he brings to the form. One review of his first album, with backing group the Athletes, Moving Up Country stated "James Yorkston is the real deal" and that simple judgment says a lot more than any attempt to classify or describe his work.
