Colin James: Chasing The Sun

Folksy blues with a rock steady beat are delivered by singer/guitarist Colin James with a swampy band of Colin Linden/p, Darryl Jones/b, Charley Drayton/dr and various guests. Charlie Musselwhite blows a mean harmonica for a Chicago wind on “Devilment” and the rural “Come To Find Out”. Linden’s dobro brings ominous shadows to “Open Your Mind” and Michael Hicks’ B3 gives a low ceiling room feel to “How It Feels To Be Lovd”. Some tasty guitar work delights on “I’m Still Alive” and “Crystal Ball” while hints of arena rock akin to Bad Company are revved up on “This Song Kills Hate” and the ballad “Too Far Gone”. Vintage jeans and jacket.
