I’ve always said that Colin James has the best blues voice and I going to say it again. Keep on doing what you do my friend and hope to see you again soon. Bob st p.
Agreed!! My true living, breathing guitar hero! (That and I had a huge crush on him growing up). Finally got to see him play about 8 years ago and I was smitten all over again!😍 I wish more people knew his music.
Don't forget his frizzy-haired companion Chris Caddell who is now a member of Big Wreck, but also occasionally still plays with Colin. You can see Chris solo after Ian in One More Chance live Nashville.
if he had longer hair and a cowboy hat on he would be identical to Stevie Ray Vaughn.. the way he plays is exactly like stevie.... The Legend lives on in Colin
Not that I find his new stuff bad but his first two albums are definitely his best work in my opinion. Also I think he took a bit of inspiration from ZZ Top's La Grange with the riff on this song - at least it reminds me of that song. Though I guess its a fairly common pacing for the blues rock genre.
Uh, the "La Grange riff" as you describe it (which appeared on ZZ Top's album Tres Hombres in 1973) was inspired by the guitar riff in the original Otis Rush version of Keep On Loving Me, Baby, which was released in 1958...and was likely inspired by John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson and a dozen other early blues artists. Like trying to trace ownership to the walking bass line in 1,001 blues, jazz and rock and roll songs, it's as if it appeared out of nowhere, virtually impossible to trace.
Legend!!! The fact that he's Canadian is a source of pride for everyone...
You dont have to twist my arm to keep on loving you Colin James!!

What a great Strat player. Going to see him tonight for the first time
Colin is rocking! His sound is amazing...COME TO TEXAS!
The way he plays the opening makes me think of a later recording "A Man's Gotta Be A Stone.".
He's excellent and i'm going to see him in Montreal tonight, PLace-des-Arts...yes sir....the best.
Colin James makes me proud to be Canadian!
I don't compare Colin to anyone...he is unique...a real musician and a fine person. It is blues as blues should be...all heart!
there are very few acts that sound phenomenally better than their cds. colin james is one of them. If you have never seen him live, GO SEE HIM!!!

One of the most underrated blues artists.
Unfortunately Colin is Canada's best kept secret. I wish Micheal Buble would have him on his Christmas special.
Happy 40th anniversary to Q107. Always Toronto's best Classic Rock since I was a preteen.
Totally Awesome!.
Fantastica, Colin you are simply outstanding pal .
He pours all of his emotion into his performances... The way it should be
