Jim
Malcolm PREVIOUS GARDEN SESSIONS
NUMBER 1
"Original Material
which sounds as though it's been around for hundreds of years."

Jim Malcolm was brought up in Perthshire and Angus
and was steeped in the traditional music of Scotland from an early
age. He learned to play guitar while at school and by his early
twenties was winning songwriting competitions and playing in folk
clubs all over Scotland.
His career began to take off when he hosted the open stage at Edinburgh
Folk Festival, and through his own playing there secured a contract
with Greentrax for his first solo album, Sconeward. Acclaimed by
critics and chosen as one of the year's best by Radio Scotland's
folk programmes Travelling Folk and Celtic Connections, the album
brought in bookings at folk clubs and festivals in Britain and abroad,
and established Jim as one of the leading songwriters in the traditional
idiom in Scotland. He was dubbed: "The new male voice of Scotland."

Lochenside
(5.7 Mb / 4:50)
A famous bagpipe tune (McLellan),
Jim Malcolm wrote the lyrics and arrangement in this recording.
To quote Jim - "it stirs me and has become my usual opening
salvo, in a pull-the-stopper-from-the-malt-whisky-bottle-with-your-teeth-and-spit-it-across-the-room
kind of way." |

Glenlogie
(5.4 Mb / 4:36)
Jim's favourite Old Blind
Dogs song before joining the band - this is a traditional
ballad of unrequited, then requited love - just as in real
life. |
