Jim Reid's 'Wild Geese' album, first issued in 1984, immediately established him as one of Scotland's finest singers. "Far abune the Angus straths I saw the wild geese flee; A lang, lang skein o' beatin' wings wi' their heids toward the sea." Set to music by Jim, this was originally written as a poem by Violet Jacob in 1915. The song is also known under the alternative title Norland Wind and has now become a classic.A great selection of songs ranging from Jim's own compositions, Vinney Den and The Spark among the Heather to the lovely traditional ballads,  Busk Busk Bonnie Lassie and The Shearin's No For You and Jim's setting of the Helen Cruichshank poem Shy Geordie as a song  Up the Noran Water. Old ceilidh favourites include  Lassie wi the Yellow Coatie and  Flower of Northumberland and the 'golden oldie'  Rowan Tree.
