Steve James - Fast Texas

Fans of acoustic blues of the 30's and 40's will be delighted with Austin bluesman Steve James' album Fast Texas. Alongside his soulful vocals, James is a master of the 12-string and resonator guitars, mandolin, and banjo.

Some of the tracks are reworkings of traditional numbers such as Jack o' Diamonds, but even the newly penned numbers on Fast Texas have an authentic feel, as though they could have been written by Leadbelly, Sam McGee or Furry Lewis. Steve James' worldwide appeal bears testimony to the worth of bringing the blues legacy to an entire new audience..
