James Yorkston - "Woozy With Cider"
Playing one of these James Yorkston songs is like only hearing about someone you were supposed to meet. Your impression is skewed and you can't be blamed if you don't like it, you never saw the side you liked that makes the side you didn't like worthwhile. But listening to these both, you'll find something you like, they're like two very different days to the same wonderful weekend. The first day, Saturday, is spent feeling mildly sorry for yourself, the morning full of thoughts like waking up with a stack of books in your mouth, most of them Allen Ginsberg collections. The white light and chiffon curtains and plush smoke carpets of a hotel morning. And Sunday, by the crick, the dapples grow big and round and soft and completely out of focus, as the breeze blows hotter than the air, and the shade is the clothes you wear as you think about the coming school day, the end of things.

Posted by Insomnius at March 1, 2007 9:49 PMJames Yorkston is my favorite singer that no one knows about. I picked up his album from a tiny record shop in the west of Wales on the reccommendation of the friendly owner with an even friendlier dog. It became resonant of that perfect symmetry of life for me, that in this little hamlet tucket away on this planet, this person could pluck out one little black and white cd and so exquisitely capture not only what I was looking for that day, but also insure a forever memory.
