These songs go down with a slow, warm burn like the finer brands of tequila.
Editorial review
James Low's most obvious point of reference is the great Texan singer/songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Their phrasing is uncannily similar on some songs, notably the pensive "Words." Also, they cover the same psychic ground in their choice of song material, longtime country favorites like outlaws modern and ancient, and the timeless struggle of heart and mind. If Low's approach is less idiosyncratic than Van Zandt's, it is to his benefit. These songs go down with a slow, warm burn, like the finer brands of tequila. His palette of sound is broad and warm, incorporating horns and strings on some tracks, stripped to guitar and voice on others. ~ Rob Ferrier, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
I was born in McMinnville, Oregon where my father was a teacher and mill worker, and my mother was a nursing student. We moved to a small town in Eastern Oregon when I was two. My Dad wrote songs in his spare time, and my mother played the piano and organ at church. Many of my earliest memories involve rattlesnakes. We lived on the Double B ranch and one of the hands had given my Mother a Colt 45 saying that with three small kids she ought to know how to use it. Not long after, a fat three foot rattlesnake curled up in the back yard, and Mom shot it from the kitchen window. Unsure if it was completely dead we spent the next hour or so pitching cans of Campbell's soup at it through the window. The next dozen or so years were typical of a rural upbringing; fishing, hiking, practicing with a lariat for the junior rodeo (and really sucking at it), and trying to blow things up.
After high school I moved to New York where I made an unsuccessful bid at getting a college education.
