Now James Reid with Like A Buzzard Chased By Crows limited to 200 copies. Another Scottish guitar wizard mixing plucked guitar line with field recordings and his fragile voice. Pretty lo- fi with some good use of recorder. lots of recorder for me today and fantastic use of Dictaphone. Sounds a bit like James Blackshaw, or Alasdair Roberts. Peaceful, haunting and spacious....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

"Like A Buzzard Chased By Crows" is the debut album from the Fife based singer-songwriter James Reid.  With a love for the Autumnal pastoralia of Nick Drake, forays into the woods, homemade wine, and the legendary Wickerman soundtrack, Reid combines these passions to deliver his own lo-fi folk sketches of the beautiful, and sometimes strange, rural landscapes and hedgerow habitats of his native Scotland.  Armed with acoustic guitar, mandolin, a broken-down dictaphone, some demijohns and blessed with a golden larynx, Reid weaves melodies and atmospheres that draw favourable comparison to contempories like Greg Weeks and classics such as Drake's "Pink Moon" and David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name".  "Like A Buzzard Chased By Crows" features cover-art by Reid himself, is packaged in jewel cases and limited to 200 copies.
