"Eclectic and original....a virtual grab-bag of funky, humorous, and deeply human compositions." -Michael Boge, KPND Radio
"His melodies are infectious, floating around my mind long after listening....take it home, turn it up."-Shelly Dunn, KGB Radio
"This guy sounds like Bruce Hornsby doing a pretty good imitation of Springsteen. Or is it Donald Fagen doing Sean Mullins? Its a bit freaky and so are his lyrics, but this is an incredibly well-crafted and seamlessly produced CD. James has a strong sense of whimsy and a funky rythmic style that is both fun and captivating." -Rob Dunne, Minor 7th Magazine, July-August, 2003
This one's got legs

I met this album recently on a road trip to Fairhaven. The tracks came at me from all angles like my girlfriend's hair in a love storm. I don't know what that means exactly but I know this album is good. By good I mean wild and rangy. Every song is exploratory, no not like that crazy jazz that sounds like a six-legged cat chasing rodents on a keyboard. I'm talking about that main ingredient that lacks so much in music today - ceativity - innovation with melody and groove, the real stuff. So next time I drive anywhere I'm taking this CD. No scratch that, it'll take me. And instead of driving I hope we walk, that way I have more time to spend with these great songs.
