Jack James - Quarter-Life Crisis

You have probably noticed I am an absolute sucker for folk tinged music, but only if it is done properly. I was delighted when I gave this a listen. Previously unaware of James, I was taken by the maturity and majesty of his songs. His emotive voice, building instrumentation and observational lyrics merge together perfectly to produce something simple, yet effective. He reminds me of the sadder moments of Woodenbox with A Fistful of Fivers. It is also free, but I feel Jack James deserves a wee bit more than that for this little beauty of a mini album.
