Summary: Not as engaging as I hoped it would be
Comment: I was hoping on a beat, etc. that would grab me and it just wanst' there. In fact, I pulled the CD out, mid-way, to listen to another CD. I'll have to try it again. Not too impressed with this one though.

Summary: A must have for the music selection!!
Comment: James Hunter is not to miss. He and his talented group are comparable to Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, The Five Royales... They put on one of the best live performances of our time with fresh new/old-school hits that get you moving! No one should go without James Hunter in their music collection; young, old, hip-hop lover, blues lover, jazz lover, whoever....everyone will love these guys!!

Summary: James Hunter brings back sweet, honest soul
Comment: I heard a snippet of James Hunter on NPR while driving and was immediately intrigued. Unfortunately, my mental note got overwritten by something else! Fortunately, I was visiting a friend in Long Beach who was playing his usual eclectic mix of music and had both of James' latest CDs in the party mix. Perfect for the party, James' music brought back such wonderful memories for me of listening to the music my parents would play and enjoy; music with fun, thoughtful lyrics of love, heartbreak, pain and joy. Add in James' guitar work and the amazing brassy punch of the saxophone duo anchored with solid bass, drums and occasional strings and keyboards recorded with clean, simple production the music is soulful, fun and catchy. I find this CD and its follow-up (The Hard Way) easy to keep on my rotation in my car, on my Ipod, in my house... For some reason the music industry has forgotten the sassy, brassy punch of the saxophone (James' arrangements don't let the horns dominate; they just add heat and cool as needed) - here's hoping a renaissance is in the making. I'm not going to name any tracks, I like them all. Don't stress over the color of James' and his band's skin color - ease up, blue-eyed soul is cool, listen to the music and revel in the sweet soul sound. These guys are real and play from the heart!

"2006 Grammy Nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year"
"James is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R & B and soul. Check him out." -Van Morrison
On his U.S. debut, James Hunter proves to be a man of impeccable taste who has learned from his influences rather than simply imitating them. 'People Gonna Talk' features 14 original tracks written and arranged by Hunter, who partnered with producer Liam Watson to create a wonderfully rich, classic soul sound. The album was recorded at Watson's Toe Rag Studios in East London (also home to The White Stripes' 'Elephant'), where vintage analog equipment captured the warmth of Hunter's authentic and heartfelt sensibilities.
