He sounds like Jackie Wilson, Ben E. King, Sam Cooke, and Ray Charles all rolled into one (yet he's white and he's British). He has a tight band, and now he's on Daptone. What does it take? If you're one of those people who wonders why James Hunter isn't better known, then you know he's been at it a while. His shit is perfectly good, so what's the deal?

While we’re (/you’re) on Daptone; seems they’re branching out genre-wise (or maybe I’m just slow). Last month the Mystery Lights were in town. Reminiscent (kinda) of the Allah-las but with more tricks (than one) up their sleeves. Very capable. Check them out if you already haven’t.

Hey Espen,
I have heard them after a tip from an old friend. Haven't seen them though. Yet.

Oh yeah, remember that post now – but had forgotten. You're on your toes and two steps ahead Tom, no surprise there.
