White Trash Princess - Anthony Gomes

7/10 - A dumb guy song with solid guitar work in the spirit of Savoy Brown, Pat Travers with a little splash of Jackyl and George Thorogood.

Just been listening to James 2023 album 'Be opened by the wonderful' which is 40 years Orchestrated.20 songs re-worked by James & a 22 piece Orchestra..It's very good and some of the songs like 'Sometimes' are beautiful with the Orchestra..A great band i saw them a long time ago around 2006 and it's great to see them still making great music,The new album is out soon and the first single 'Is this love' is a real grower and has the epic James sound.

10/10

The wonderful Adrian Munsey, Sparks fans know of him because of C'est Sheep but I recommend looking him out as he has composed some beautiful haunting music
