Editorial Reviews

Build Me This is the 2nd full length album fromJoshua James demonstrating a solid progression inartist development. The album has received a goodamount of critical acclaim to date and earned a 92out of 100 'Phenomenal' rating from Paste Maga??zine. The 13 song Build Me This exhibits a moreelectrified side of Joshua and his band, in addition tosome of the more sparse, moody, acoustic numbersreminiscent of his first album The Sun Is AlwaysBrighter.Track Listing:1.

5.0 out of 5 stars What more do you want?, January 29, 2011

What do we expect of a musician? We expect him to be able to write original songs that sustain one's interest both musically and lyrically. We expect the music to be unique and flawlessly executed. We expect him, if he sings, to have an intrigueing voice, to sing from his heart, and to move us to the place where he found the song. We don't expect the music to be 'nice' and appealing in the short term - it must have depth, profundity, and it may be sad, but still it should be beautiful. The music should grow on you, and become part of you, and become more beautiful the more you listen to it. Now, I am 55 years old, and I have at last found a young artist, Joshua James, who is able to do everything that I have listed. And a tall order it is indeed - but still he has it all! He stands out like a beacon of light in a morass of boring, unoriginal, feeble wannabees for whom it seems imperative to sing out of tune. Thank God that there are still some artists around. I was beginning to think that they had all gone away. To 'Build me this' all I can say is 'Bravo, Joshua!'. I have the first album too, and love it as much... I cannot wait for more.

Joshua James is quite simply one of the best of the emerging singer-songwriters on the scene today. For such a young man, he brings a maturity and depth to his compositions. Having the good fortune to have seen him in live performance recently in Vienna, Virginia, I can also complement him on the ability to give a dynamic stage presentation. This should be a must buy for any real music lover!!!

I saw Joshua James when he opened for Eric Hutchinson...had no idea who he was...but after his first song- I WAS HOOKED! Bought this CD at the show and can't stop listening to it. Highly recommend this album. Have since purchased all of his CDs and waiting for him to tour back to Tucson.
