Great video I think James has one of the songs written by DD Aka Harlan Jones Jr. Harlan is a great upcoming writer. A few of his songs have been posted on youtube. Check him out "Harlan Jones Jr. sings" on youtube Dudes got a great voice too.
Actually james otto wrote the music (chords) and jamey johnson wrote the lyrics due to a guy coming to him with a picture of a black & white military photograph and they said....man if you could see it in color!!
Actually, It was Whisperin' Bill Anderson telling Jamey about old stories in the Grand Ole Opry dressing room. He was telling Jamey, and Whisperin Bill said something to the effect of "If you think it looks cool here, you shoulda seen it in color."
It sounds good but I like Jamey Johnsons old country sound on this song. Jamey Johnson, James Otto, and Lee Miller all three wrote this song together. Great song.
I love Jamey Johnson's rendition but JAmes Otto blows that out of the water. Saw Otto do this live in Columbus, OH and it sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes - seriously. The songwriter always does it better!
I'll give it to James, he has a purer voice than Jamey Johnson, but Jamey gives this song the sound it needs. James doesn't give it the southern twang that the song represents. Great song by both men and I'm glad it was co-written.
I like James Otto but, this sounds like a bar band cover song after hearing Jamey Johnson sing the hell out of it.

James Otto Said Himself That He Wrote " In Color."

does anyone have any clue what tuning he's using? He has to be tuned down, because his chord progression is not in standard tuning.

@WhiskeySteel
he's in standard. C, A#, F for the verse
Am, G, F for the break

Of coarse the "original" will always be the best,but You`ve gotta hand it to James Otto for doing a very good cover of it. The man can SING!
