" 'Hunter channels Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, and Jackie Wilson!'-- People " James Hunter's musical style harks back to the days of classic 1950s and early 1960s R&B. But what's remarkable is that the timeless quality of classic R&B can exist in music that is being written, performed, and recorded today. Hunter's voice is smooth, brilliantly controlled, and unapologetic. Through his infectious vocal and guitar performances, clever songwriting and tight horn arrangements, Hunter shows how an artist can learn from influences rather than simply imitating them. Hunter's fans include Van Morrison, who asserts that "James is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R&B and Soul. Check him out." James has just released a new album, "The Hard Way," featuring an assist from the dean of New Orleans R&B, Allen Toussaint.
