J-45 - Long Distance Lovers

Poetry, perception, passion, and the vital ingredient of wide life experience fuel James English's true Americana music. This is a celebration of the musical genres that America forgot when record labels became increasingly homogeneous, and reminds us of the value contained in the many varieties of American music. James knows that if you focus on the music, you will never be lost. There's an excellent cast of players at work here (all of whom have toured with major acts), and the piano of Denny Osburn (toured with Leon Redbone) is a special treat. The CD itself was a finalist in the prestigious "Crossroads Music Awards". The authenticity is superb.
