This was our third time seeing James Hunter, the first time that he has come to the wonderful new venue The Sinclair. As always, he was full of soul and a joyfulness in playing his music- especially cuts from his latest CD. This was also our third time seeing opener Jesse Dee- a local soul and R and B star on the rise.

Very funky and polished performance; Jesse Dee is on my list to see again as well. Hunters' band was really tight and he gave them opportunities to show off their talent. Couldn't stop dancing!!!

James Hunter brought his tight, precise "A" game to BB King's on Wed. night. A fascinating mix of influences including early James Brown, London Ska, Swamp Pop and a knowledge of seminal guitar singles like "Raunchy" were all referenced in Hunter's 90 minute set.
The mix of upright bass, portable Hammond organ, tasteful uncomplicated drumming, James on rhythm and lead guitar and a tenor and bari horn section crafted a seamless set of Hunter's original material in which one heard the influence of Bob Marley, Ray Charles, James Brown and well as some rockabilly icons like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis insinuate themselves into his material. And that's a compliment. Rather than try to imitate any of those performers, Hunter folded their spiritual legacy into an artistry of his own invention. Everything about the show worked, including the "sharp dressed man" attitude copped by Hunter and his bandmates. Although he's not very well know in the US and his music may be too good and genuine to aggregate a huge audience in this "Lady Ga-Ga" "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" era we live in, Hunter's audience at his New York show was enthusiastically appreciative of his effort and his art. And so was I...

We came on the recommendation of friends, and had a great time. The band was tight, the music was driven and the enthusiam palpable. James sings the rocking, soulful blues as though he has just this one show to play -- and he puts on a show of shows.

James Hunter put on an energetic, positive, enjoyable performance at the Birchmere. His band has a combination of instruments you don't often see and plays a style that is as appealing as it is uncommon. But the star of the show is Hunter's voice. It is powerful, and he can rip it like Howlin' Wolf if he wants to, but more often tames it to croon expertly. His voice is great on record, but in live performance you can truly see it's range.

Hunter is glib and funny, too, once you decipher his cockney accent.

Great stuff
