James Harman
This is James Harman's first release of new material in three years. In 1997 James along with Cannonball Records re-released the critically acclaimed "Extra Napkins" and was rewarded with W.C. Handy and Living Blues Magazine nominations for re-issue of the year. This year, the -renaissance-man of the blues- brings us "TAKIN' CHANCES". It s a Fun-Filled theme 'album about the gambles we take in life, love, relationships and money, as well as the sometime futile pursuit of them all. James is a raconteur of the first order and surrounds himself with the gutsy guitar talents of "Strollin " Bob Margolin, Junior Watson and Kid Ramos, all-stars of the contemporary blues scene in their own right, not to mention his great new band. A vintage yet modern sound with great arrangements, songwriting, playing and singing, this is probably James Harman's best record to date, "TAKIN' CHANCES" is a sure thing, baby.

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • All new material; a concept album that "Life is a gamble"
  •  Features David "Kid" Ramos (Fabulous Thunderbirds) and Stephen Hodges (Smashing Pumpkins tour) 
  •  A consistent artist playing over 250 dates per year
