James Hunter

I see that the number one artist on the Billboard Blues chart for the last few weeks has been James Hunter, a British artist from Colchester.

I've recently heard some of his music which is pretty impressive, although you can hear some blues in his music, he plays more a Sam Clark, Atlantic era Ray Charles solu style of music.

He's touring the US at the moment, and then is doing a UK tour in October.

Here is a link to his myspace site, a video to his recent song "Don't Do Me No Favours" and a performance of him on the UK TV show "Later with Jules Holland"
