Title: Songs that immediately seize you
Review: There are some albums that require a few listens before you're even sure you really LIKE it! And there are those rare albums that you feel you have always known as you listen for the first time. I don't understand the mystery of that but it's such a joy when you discover one. I ordered this album "sight unseen" - based on a written review in a country/western book. James' voice reminds me of a cross between Elvis and Marty Robbins. Every single song on this album is either contagious or haunting. Each cut seems important. (No throwaway tracks here.) It's the kind of album that when trying to decide on your favorite cut, you say to yourself, "This one!" as the album continues through its 12 cuts. I'll be buying EVERYTHING this guy puts out.
