Follow Up to 2021's The Wide, Wide River on Vinyl LP!
The Great White Sea Eagle is the follow up to James Yorkston and The Second Hand Orchestra's The Wide, Wide River - a Guardian Top 10 Folk Album of 2021. Yorkston and Sweden's The Second Hand Orchestra had no real plans to do a follow up, but as James visited his studio in Cellardyke, Fife everyday in early 2021, he began to start writing songs on the piano as opposed to his usual guitar as he gazed upon the sea outside his window. After sending the first five or six songs to Karl-Jonas Winqvist (the leader/conductor of TSHO), they began to discuss working on the music together. With Yorkston's shift from guitar to piano, they thought about what other changes they could make to their process which led to the involvement of a guest singer, and the legendary Nina Persson (The Cardigans) was brought into the fold.
