The Great White Sea Eagle is the follow up to James Yorkston and The Secondhand Orchestra's The Wide, Wide River - a Guardian Top 10 Folk Album of 2021.

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.
