Critics have described the Blue James Band as a musical joyride. As the West Coast Independent noted, “This band has serious groove and is tight every step of the way.” Indeed, their fans include both discriminating listeners who appreciate outstanding musicianship and concert goers seeking a fun night of free-spirited jams. Blue James Band songs structures are unique and often complex. They combine melody-driven songs with loads of lyrical style. The music is sweet, at other times intense, but it always reels you in.
The band’s first album, that’s that, was met with rave reviews. As Phillip Buchan writes in Splendid Magazine, “that's that may be one of the best-played albums we've reviewed this month.” Excited by the album’s success, the guys are currently working on a new album, due out later this year.

Sold his soul to Satan
as he sang out in refrain.
even though the Sunday shined,
always seemed to rain.
He stood outside the doorway.
His guitar slung on his back.
His voice resound in echoing,
always dressed in black.
He struck a chord with fire
as the blood burned in his veins.
Preachin’ to the choir,
Johnny was his name.
His songs would live forever
that was the deal foretold.
He didn’t think eternity,
meant playin’ in Hell holes.
Spent the days in summer
with his heart felt love for June.
nothing was above her,
no mountain, stars or moon.
Encircling ring of fire
in those boots, he tapped the time.
It never would expire,
forever walk the line.
Finally the Devil
said to John;
“I’ve heard enough,I got cold,
when I bought your soul and I’m feelin’ kinda rough.
So, I will free your spirit.
Hope to God will do the same.
Locking up a soul like yours,
brings me only pain.
So, when you get to Heaven.
please introduce yourself,
and put a word in for me
‘cause I freed you and no one else”
Then, John looked up and smiled,
his bones rattled from the ground.
On that night the legend goes…
Johnny’s house burned down.
