Genuine real blues, without sophisticated affected manners Listening to Samuel James’ acoustic guitar, his voice and his blues, you immediately realize there are still people who really love back porch blues A young man about thirty years old who tells us amazing stories with an extreme humour and sympathy, which talk about love and indifference, symbolic racism myths, sometimes still present on small southern villages A simple but at the same time passionate record, that perfectly reflects daily life in the south country small towns and specially defines some characteristic people of those rural communities Splendid Samuel James debut album, where you will find him on guitar, banjo, harmonica and piano, in the path of his musical ancestors like Mississippi John Hurt or Son House Samuel James is one of the most relevant artists who keeps faithful to the genuine Mississippi and Piedmont blues tradition with a contemporary vision and a ‘twist’ touch
