think of sam cooke's smooth voice with a sweet blues guitar sprinkled lightly with funk.  this is the real deal.  james hunter is a throwback in his style and genre, but he brings it with a modern flair.  james is also a tremendous guitar player and shows that on the blues and rockabilly riffs that explode off his guitar.  great disc for any kind of listening - road trips to enjoying a cool beverage with a special person!  the addition of van morrison on the last song is classic.
