James Hunter - Off The Fence - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2022 from the James Hunter Six, With Love a heart-shaped collection of candle-lit ballads and love songs. Plucked like so many Inchhe loves youInch petals from the vast and sumptuous garden of his Daptone Recordings, these twelve lilting melodies have been selected and sequenced with great care, tenderness, and intention by Daptone staff for the solitary purpose of compiling some of the criminally overlooked treasures in the James Hunter Six's critically acclaimed catalog. Album Tracks 1. Something's Calling 2. I Don't Want to Be Without You 3. Who's Fooling Who 4. If I Only Knew 5. Carina 6. Take It As You Find It 7. This Is Where We Came in 8. Heartbreak 9. It Was Gonna Be You 10. Never 11. He's Your Could Have Been 12. MM-HMM

2020 . The James Hunter Six are back with another sublime offering of no nonsense rhythm and blues. Recorded and produced by Bosco Mann, Nick of Time is a shining example of how a master song-smith can continually draw fresh water from a bottomless well. In addition to the uptempo, swinging R&B that has put JH6 on the map, Nick of Time explores so much more! The opening track and lead single, 'I Can Change Your Mind', is a beautiful, mid-tempo rumba that tips the hat to the sound of many early King/Federal releases, but executed with a vibrancy that propels the tune into the 21st Century. The rich arrangements on 'Till I Hear it from You' and ' He's Your Could Have Been' sound like lost tracks from an early '60s Burt Bacharach session. The straight forward soul of 'Brother or Other' (whose timely message is only tantamount to it's groove), and the sparse 'Paradise for One' (that finds James channeling his innermost Nat King Cole), enrich the album with sounds one may not readily associate with James and Co. - culminating in James' most exciting full-length to date. Album Tracks 1. I Can Change Your Mind 2. Who's Fooling Who 3. Till I Hear It from You 4. Never 5. Missing in Action 6. Nick of Time 7. Brother or Another 8. Ain't Goin' Up in One of Those Things 9. Take It As You Find It 10. Can't Help Myself 11. How 'Bout Now 12. Paradise for One 13. He's Your Could've Been

2018 , the sixth album by The James Hunter Six. Hunter has already established himself as a permanent fixture in the world of Rhythm and Soul with his five previous albums, each more poignant and well-executed than the last. However, this record has buried them all. His voice has never been more compelling, his songs never more elegantly crafted. Recorded to tape at Daptone's Penrose Studios in Riverside, California, Bosco Mann's production elevates Hunter's arrangements to the altitude they deserve. Album Tracks 1.
