“I think it’s irrefutable that I’ve definitely taken elements of older, past, bygone decades of music… I like to take a lot from multiple decades and try to see if it fits together. I think a lot of people are doing that now, and that is the thing that makes it modern.”
That’s what Early James had to say when I asked him whether his band, Early James & the Latest, consider their music to be old or new. In the same way their sound doesn’t fit into any one time or era, their music also doesn’t fit into one particular genre– the band draws on country, blues, jazz, and more. We get into the elements of their sound and much more on the latest edition of the Magic City Music Cast.
Early James & the Latest will be playing two shows in Birmingham this month– April 5th at Iron City as part of the WBHM This Alabama Life benefit and April 14th at The Nick with Sweet Crude.
