Search - Colin James :: Sudden Stop

One of Canada's finest right here

"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!!!

"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."

AWESOME

"My truck got broken into and I lost several hundred cd's. I honestly miss Sudden Stop the most.Colin James is a natural and you can tell it from the first to last note in almost every thing he plays. He gets minimal air time in the states, but if you look at some of the pros who wait in line to work with him,you'll see what we mean! I can't say enough about his talent. Please check him out.
