Meet Oliver James! From Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, the multi-instrumentalist James had been crafting mid
60s era soul gems with a Motor City vibe for years and has perfected his skills by traveling with his family band all
through the USA.
After hearing a few tracks, we began working with Oliver James to share these incredible blue-eyed soul tracks
with the rest of the world. Indeed, Oliver James is a time machine player, fully embodying a moment in time when
everything was good and simple and the music reflects it!
"You Left Me Alone" on the A-Side is a mid tempo jaunt that will remind listeners of the very best elements of any
Funk Brothers production while remaining solidly unique in itʼs own right. Young Oliver James' heartfelt belting on
this track will buckle knees with ease!
The B-Side is home of the slow simmering "A Fool for You", a crooned ballad of fleeting love that is all too common
in popular music. Yet, Oliver James' rendition of the this tried songwriting device stays fresh with it's earnest
portrayal and spot on production value that is on par with some of the greats of yesteryear. If you are a fan of
Northen Soul, look no further… Oliver James delivers!
