“James is a songwriter with more than just a hint of beauty in his voice and his words seem to come from the ends of dusty roads and bottomless nights that just keep on stretching and stretching and feeling as if they’ll never turn. The songs on his latest album, “Build Me This,” and his previous, “The Sun Is Always Brighter,” are full of tales of unmistakable woes that would never be considered rare or out of the ordinary.” – Sean Moeller
