James Bisset Volume 1

cover for James Bisset Volume 1, featuring James playing guitar in front of twisted and folded rock

A year in the making, this album features James’s fellow Jazzrascal Peter Condor, as if it wasn’t funky enough already. It also has some Guest Rascals who made everything right.

So, huge thanks to Annie McCaig for singing some fairy dust over it, George West, Jim Fotheringham, all the Caedmon gang for the whoops and hollers and Ken Patterson for the piano, Ross McCreadie of this parish for the burnin’ blues harp and all at the Boarshead for humouring me. Everything else was my fault, sorry.

And thanks to Ruth Bisset without whom none of this would have happened.
