This (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=8&url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002EWRTRY/thedvdforums-21) looks good, especially as the special ed (not cheap!) comes with a live session DVD. Worth shelling out for as he's great live.

Ordered direct from Domino today. I think the limited edition they have has an extra CD (and a poster!) over the one HMV and the like stock. It's been despatched already, despite having a release date of next Monday.

Reviews seem to be positive.

He's awesome.

I ordered this about 3 months ago and the artwork will have my daughter's name on it as a result....

Mine arrived and sure enough has Jessica Collier in the 'Thanks to' section. Awesome.

I don't want to make a "best album since Nevermind" type statement, but a few more listens could confirm this to be one of the year's best albums.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say this *is* the best album I've heard all year.

It's just a shame the drugs on the nu-folk scene are a little more mundane than your usual fare. Can you inject nettle tea?

All you need for James Yorkston is a malt and a pint. :) Seriously, us Scots have a habit of hyping the most mediocre indie-rock. (Consider Glasvegas and the fact Oasis were 'discovered' here.) If there was any justice in the world, Mr Yorkston would be a national hero. Thorneymoor Woods and Little Musgrave are ******* awesome.

Gigs announced on his website: http://www.jamesyorkston.co.uk/?page_id=21 And he really is worth seeing live.

The Arches for me. :)

And me. Aha, see you pinched "The Great Mephisto". No problem, you can have that one.

Lawyer's letter is in the post.

Too good not to pinch. :D

Saw him play in a tiny Ayr (!!) venue last night. It was more an improvised **** about than a gig but - thanks to my piping up - he played his cover of Song to the Siren which is just fantastic. :clap:

Some of songs mention places near to me such as Rufford and Sherwood Forest.

Enjoyed this.

Moving Up Country is his best one imo.
