Like Josh Ritter and a new generation of singer-songwriters including M. Ward, Jim James, Cory Chisel and Ray Lamontagne, Nebraska born Joshua James offers a unique take on the singer-songwriter thing. Sounding a bit like Paul Simon, James blends rock with familiar elements of Americana with lyrics that twist with darkness yet are buried with optimism.
Josh’s new album (his second) Build Me This is an inspiring and often inventive collection of troubadour rock well worth seeking out.
