Colin James - National Steel

year 97 review: Colin James is most noted for his rock and big band work from early in his recording career. He serves both of those genres well. It's rather obvious, however, that his greatest musical influence is the blues. He is an incredible blues player from north of the border. This ulbum does well to prove that. His mastery of early blues numbers from such important artists as Muddy Waters and the legendary Robert Johnson shine on through here. Colin James is under-exposed in the US and unfortunately underappreciated on both sides of the border. If you are a diehard blues fan or even just have a passing interest, buy this album. You'll not only be serving Mr. James well by showing your appreciation, but you'll be doing yourself an even bigger favour by giving your ears such a gift.
