And for these two new songs in particular, you can hear the warmth in the delivery, citing the likes of Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and The Band as touchstones for the style they are calling “Northern Folk” with ties that go back to the early 20th century. “It’s funny,” James explains, “my love of production has taken me down all these rabbit holes that ultimately led me back to the most organic music that’s ever been made. If you listen to these old 78 rpm records of country, blues, and jazz from the ‘20s and ‘30s, there’s no ‘production’ to speak of, but there’s obviously something there. And it hits me in the same place—maybe even a little closer to my heart, in a way.” For “Easy to Remember”–which the Rock & Roll Globe is happy to premiere today–James credits a recent T-Bone Burnett kick for the direction upon which he and co-writer Callan Saunders took for its nuanced feel–distinctly his work with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. “The sound for this I was trying to get some Raising Sand vibes again (like “Cold Blooded Moon,” another one of our songs),” James tells us via email. “Always chasing down T-Bone Burnett. We even use his mastering engineer. In fact, I’ve been reading Lloyd Sachs’ biography of T Bone, and without me knowing, I’ve been developing some techniques and mindsets that derived from my own gumption, and discovered he does some of the same things. Must be in the ether. Makes me want to keep going down those paths.” - Rock and Roll Globe (2021) Lyrics: Everything that lies down roads unknown Everywhere you walk soon or later leads home Everything you said you didn’t mean Every tender song you’d sing me slow Oh oh You’re so easy to remember You’re so easy on the eyes You’re so easy to remember On my mind All the time You should ease up to the evening breeze We could forget that our words even breathe Sure feels good when the sun is down Praying for seeds that we may have sown Oh oh You’re so easy to remember You’re so easy on the eyes You’re so easy to remember On my mind All the time #SingingRiver #NorthernFolk #Americana #IndieFolk #OfficialAudio
