Today's song-of-the-weekend selection is a bit of a throwback. It's a throwback in style, however, not in time because this tune was written and recorded only about 5 years ago. James Hunter is a 'cool-cat' British musician who creates music that will immediately remind you of classic 1950's and 60's R & B. With his smooth soulful singing style and his classic guitar work, Hunter has garnered his fair share of accolades and awards including a Grammy nomination. One significant boost for his career was the interest Van Morrison showed in him both early on and also later as they collaborated on recordings. As Morrison puts it:
"James Hunter is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets in British R&B and soul."
"Til Your Fool Comes Home" comes from the third of his four studio albums, the 2006 release entitled 'People Gonna Talk' which Hunter credits for making him into
"an overnight success that took 20 years."
Turn it up loud and enjoy this two minutes and thirty seconds of toe-tapping genius!
