5.0 out of 5 stars Hip Hop 50's, May 8, 2004

This CD is fantastic. I was really surprised at the sound. I only paid 50 cents for this so I was not expecting much. I was wrong. This reminds me of Brian Seltzer (Stray Cats) only more raw. It is hard for me to classify it. I love blues and jazz so I can see it fitting in that category but it also belongs in rock. His voice and electric guitar skills are hynotizing. This CD is a keeper. It has both slower songs and jazzier renditions such as Cadillac Baby. You will not go wrong with this CD. If you want a good dance song then play The Boogie Twist Part II.

I own two other Colin James CDs so I guess I am a fan. Initially this was my least favorite CD, but I find myself having to reevaluate my opinion because every time I listen to it it just keeps getting better. "Sit Right Here" is one of my favorite tracks. As Judy says in her review, although it is hard to classify--jazz, blues, rock--the CD is a definite keeper.

This CD is a good mix of up tempo and slow blues numbers from Colin James. In a similar vein to Brian Setzer, he has an excellent voice for this type of music, and his guitar-playing is damn good. Add to that the fantastic horns and juke-joint piano, and you have some rockin' blues. If this doesn't get the toes tapping, nothing will. Highly recommended.
