James Yorkston first appeared on record in 2001 under the pseudonym J Wright Presents, with the “Moving Up Country, Roaring the Gospel” single, a track that later appeared in a very different version on the first album, which was released on Domino in late 2002 and was mixed mostly by former Cocteau Twin Simon Raymonde, with some intervention from Kenny Anderson, aka King Creosote . By then, James had released a number of singles and a track on Anderson’s Fence Collective Sampler.
Shortly after the release of the album, James’ first Peel session was broadcast and there followed an EP of traditional folk songs (Someplace Simple) before the release of the second album, Just Beyond the River, in 2004. On this, songs like “Shipwreckers” revealed something of the dynamism that lurks within Yorkston’s best work, and that is unleashed to an often surprising degree in live performances.
