Tender To The Blues

 

2026 Charity Shop Purchases #18 - James Yorkston & The Athletes -Tender To The Blues (CD Single)

I visited the Kinder Handl charity shop on Glasgow's Battlefield Road on Saturday afternoon. I went through all the 500 to 600 CDs on their shelves and came away with two!

One was Tender to the Blues a CD single by James Yorkston & the Athletes from 2002 on the Domino label. 

A native of the East Neuk of Fife James Yorkston was part of the Fence Collective. I have a couple of his albums on the shelves and this is a welcome addition. More recently he has been writing fiction books and those I have read have been pretty good.

Stay tuned for CD 2 which also has Fence Collective connections
