He has since performed on other artists' recordings, including Del Amitri, Texas, the Hot Rod Cadets,[2] the Kevin McDermott Orchestra, and Alisdair Robertson. His collaboration with Alisdair resulted in the album Confessions of a Justified Singer. He plays piano, keyboards, accordion, and melodica.

In 2007 Blair played in Kevin McDermott's new album Wise to the Fade.[3]
