Sweet Country Love by Paula James

After a year at sea, Ms. James met Ray Riggs (former band manager for Barbara Mandrel) who was so impressed with her musical talent, he offered her the lead vocalist spot, with his group "The Southern Star Band." This five piece Florida based band headlined throughout the state of Florida and then landed a permanent job at a central Florida night club!!

MARK NESBIT VARNEY (THE ST. PETERSBURG TIMES)

Paula James has known since she was a child that she wanted to do one thing with her life: sing. With the release of her album, Sweet Country Love, James is one step closer to making that dream come true. At a recent album-release party, James sang to a standing-room-only audience and did three encores before the crowd would let her wind up her show. Country music radio station WXOF, The Country Fox, has taken an interest in her music and is playing several songs from her "Sweet Country Love" CD.

ON-LINE MUSIC.COM:

"Up tempo Country with Honky-Tonk rhythms, a healthy dose of Bluegrass, fiddle work, and guitars that boogie. James' voice is crisp and clear with a twang that recalls Patty Loveless. Radio-ready Country with enough respect for the masters to still please the purists."

Artist - Paula James

Review by: Bob Porri (MP3 Archives)

Song - My Get Up & Go

With twang to spare and a voice that's right on the money, the Paula James plays some good Country music. Here we have classic country playing by all of the musicians.

From the catchy little guitar intro and into the body of the song, this piece comes through with a little more of a country flavor than where my preferences usually would take me. But, like the Contemporary Country that won me over (hook line and sinker!) just a year ago, a really good song (like this) done well (like this), can cross genres through the musicianship and good feelings you get if you open yourself up to it. If this is the style of music you like anyway, you will probably find your foot going right from the guitar intro.

Everything falls right into place throughout the song. Very nice job Paula James!

Now everyone, go check it out!
