I saw James and the guys in 2008 when they supported Willie Nelson, and they weren't my type, but bloody f-- they were good, and I can even remember how the emcee guy welcomed him onto the stage. If he does up here again, I might consider it, cause I'd like to hear what he can do in a full-length concert.
Im seeing him tonight at The Basement in sydney! If he sounds this good tonight ill be one happy lady. Totally agree with the Sam Cooke comparison. I think uve got to remember also that live music sounds way better when ur actually there, compared to when its recorded and uploaded on youtube....
geeeeez....it's only been around for so many years....soul...very very a la sam cooke....he uses the recipe that theyve been using for years, but he does it very wellll! very well....
Im quite shocked that his live stuff isn't (in my opinion) as good as his records, and his brilliant and unique voice doesnt really come across in this. Still great though.
Got this album and must admit was slightly underwhelmed. But you know that way when your maybe not ready for something? Well just been listening to the more commercial fare of Pete Molinari and tuned in and this sounds great. It's just so different, which I suppose can't be bad. Sam Cooke's melodies are so appealing to less advanced customers like myself but this guy is pure soul/feeling/genre if you know what i mean? Hopefully I can get sucked in; failing that itll need to be Jimmy Cliff!
Caught his act @ the burnaby roots & blues fest in britis columbia...refreshingly a cross between Ray Charles & Sam Cook. Had to come home & buy his disc that night.
Beautiful.
