The second album on Temple Records from one of Scotland's finest singer-songwriters. On this recording, released in 1992, Jim was joined at Temple studios by a superb group of musicians and the results speak for themselves.

If there is one word to describe Jim and his music it is 'passion'. The songs are felt passionately, and are performed passionately; provoking a tear, a smile, a jig or even a dram, as the situation demands. Although first and foremost a product of Scotland, Fingernail Moon contains songs which have a universality, crossing all barriers of age, nationality or style.
