"An overnight success that's taken 20 years." That's how James Hunter describes the outpouring of praise and acceptance for his Grammy-nominated album, "People Gonna Talk". It was the singer/songwriter/guitarist's first Stateside release after two decades of performing and recording in his native Britain. In support of his album, James and his skin-tight band performed everywhere from hole-in-the-wall clubs to the Hollywood Bowl. They headlined packed shows as well as opening for the likes of Aretha Franklin, Los Lonely Boys, Boz Scaggs, and Van Morrison. The Los Angeles Times praised James Hunter's "extraordinary soul voice"; Rolling Stone called his album "a treat not to miss." It's no wonder James Hunter's second U.S. album, "The Hard Way" was an eagerly celebrated release. In terms of inspiration, James has taken much from the musical past. But it's his own infectious sound and inventive songwriting, blessedly free of slavish mimicry or retrograde nostalgia, that audiences are responding to. Allen Toussaint calls it "music that you feel you know, but is very fresh today... And it's truly, truly a joy." With this release, James Hunter takes a giant step toward staking his place in the pop-soul pantheon alongside Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson, Charlie Rich and Van Morrison.
