James Hunter - People Gonna Talk -
“James Hunter is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R&B and Soul. Check him out.”
- Van Morrison
Hunter’s voice has the kind of depth and nuance that invites comparisons to Sam Cooke; his songwriting craft and impassioned performances recall Them-era Van Morrison - and like those artists, Hunter’s music is timeless, sounding instantly classic and perpetually modern. He recorded People Gonna Talk at Liam Watson’s famed Toe Rag Studios in London (also home to the White Stripes’ Grammy-winning, platinum 2003 release Elephant). Vintage analogue equipment is de rigueur at Toe Rag, and People Gonna Talk was recorded entirely live - without any overdubs, computers, or even headphones - resulting in a rich, warm sound that practically dares the uninitiated to guess its date of origin.
