I posted about Mr. James' latest studio record a few months ago so please click the link and go back for a quick read. Thank you. Saves me some time...
This show was recorded last November and released March 19. Two days later, he was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame. Being on that country's largest label, Universal, I'd guess that was planned (please insert "no shit, Sherlock" here). It is an outstanding quality recording, maybe a tad too bright for my ears, but it's as if you were one of the audience...
One of the true blues songs. I call it PG-blues because it's not going to offend anyone. It's not heavy blues, it's not loud blues, it's not blue blues, it's blues like Bryan Adams would play. It's blues like the Climax Blues Band was blues. It's PG-blues like Robert Cray is....like MTV-era ZZ Top was.
His first live album after 25 years in the biz. He's not reached the age of fifty yet. Doubt I'll ever see him in concert as he keeps it north of the border. That's OK, I will eagerly await the next studio release...
