I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Sundancer, from Will James and it's a lively mix of contemporary blues, R&B and soul. Opening with Shadowman, with it's second line rhythm by Sergio Gonzalez, and Nathan Brown on bass, Will James has a silky smooth vocal style working his guitar with Jon Gilutin on keys. Solid opener. Soulful, Still Blue, has a really nice approach with smooth vocal over a pure melody, backed by Gilutin on keys and rhythm guitar by Randy Jacobs. Very nice. 6 Up is one of my favorites on the release with it's funky rhythm and guitar edge leading to a full out revival romp. Another funky blues track, Q Blues, really sets a nice groove and James on guitar plays nicely against Gonzalez, Brown and Gilutin. Wrapping the release is a dynamic rocker, Sundance with a touch of psychedelics, a driving beat and solid Hendrix like vocal and guitar expression. I think this release has a cool approach and definitely worth a listen (or more).
