James Hunter Hold On! (CD)

(2016/Daptone) 10 tracks.
The first album by James Hunter for the wonderful Daptone label. Although songs like "(Baby) Hold On", "If That Do not Tell You" and "Stranded" transport the exuberant energy that crisp arrangements and soulful pulse , for which the band is known, the real treasures of album are his rumbas, boleros, bossa novas and easy rockers. "This is where We Came In", "Something's Calling", "a Truer Heart", "Light of My Life", " In The Dark "are highest songwriting art and brilliant singing, from velvety to unpolished, but always with the right balance. Don't miss it!
