5.0 out of 5 stars One of Canada's finest right here, March 10, 2005

Colin James has released no less than eight superb albums north of the 49th Parallel (a few of them have found their way to US release)...THIS is the one that got me hooked. If you just let it play from start to finish, it's a solid effort all the way...Colin is revered and respected in the Great White North and is a worthy successor to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Great rock and pop sensibility, full to overflowing. He clearly LOVES what he does and you will too. From the scratchy 30s sounding intro (Stones in My Passway) to Just Came Back all the way to the title track at the end, Colin does fine work with help from folks like Bonnie Raitt...the slow jams like Crazy Over You and the absolutely great single If You Lean on Me, not a bad note to be found anywhere here. He's done many albums since, and has explored the swing thing (two albums with The Little Big Band, some help there from Roomful of Blues) and done a more acoustic release called National Steel...it's all good, and this is a great place to get acquainted with the man and his music. Canada must be proud...the States could stand to hear more of him. To quote Aerosmith..."Just push Play"...sit back, and ENJOY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily one of my top five favorite cd's, August 13, 2000

My favorite time to pop this cd in is on long highway trips. I have nothing else in my collection that pumps me up like "I just came back" or "Show me". The whole cd is a sing-along sensation! If you like good music period....you'll like this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great album from a phenomenal musician, July 10, 2000

By A Customer

First of all Colin James is the best blues guitarist that nobody has ever heard of. Since this album was released I have bought 4 separate copies (they keep getting "borrowed") and have never regreted a single one. James lets you know where he's coming from by opening with a quick steel guitar cover of "Stones in my Pathway" by Robert Johnson that sounds like it could be from a 30's Mississippi bluesman before unleashing some fiery blues and rock originals. He ends in a heartfelt cover of "Sudden Stop" by Percy Sledge with one of the most emotive guitar solos ever. Awesome. Oh yeah, the boy can sing, too. Worth a pickup for blues/rock fans looking for new(old) talent.
