This review is from: Sun & the Moon (Audio CD)

For some reason, the ambiance of this album is what stays with me the most. It gives you the feeling of a cool drive down the western coast, nights in the mountians, misty mornings or (ironically an often venue for James) a hip coffee shop. Although it is appropriate for any occasion. James' great imagination is definately on display. The Sun & The Moon is ever-filled with James' flourishes of atmosphere and story. I think James' guitar mastery has been spoken for but the key highlight on this album is his acoustic guitar work but most of all, emphasis (as usual) on the songs. And great, finely-tuned pieces they indeed are. We get off to a great start from the delightful opening track, to the... well, dreamy "In my Dreams." I personally adore "One Man Woman" (I challenge you not start tapping or snapping) it is irrisitable. I cannot comment on "One Fine Day" since the spouting of such positive sentiments would cause my bitter little head to implode. Okay, I kid. That would be an inside joke. "One Fine Day" is a tune that one cannot stop playing... when they're in a GOOD mood is all I'm saying. "Whisper" is an NPR-played well-known classic seen on the previous album, although the production is much more clear on this one. The wonderful eccentricity of "London Bridge" (Freebo on TUBA!) The romance of "You and Me" and wistfulness of "Time Will Fly." Another highlight for me is the powerful yet subtle "Together" all wrapped up tightly with the sentiment of "Here and Now." James truly takes you on a journey. So take a nice drive and pop in this CD, I can't think of anything better.
