To give a flavour of a Chris James gig, here’s part of a review from Penrith Plug and Play:

...

'Drawing inspiration from the great bluesmen of the past such as Robert Johnston, Reverend Gary Davis and Big Bill Broonzy, Chris delivered an evening of authentic, raw, acoustic instrumentals and songs. With his warm, charismatic personality and laid back manner, Chris made it all look so easy as he swung into action with a ragtime tune, All Of My Six Reasons, followed by a great rendition of Come On In My Kitchen on slide guitar. He growled his way through standards like Stackerlee, Cocaine Blues, Hesitation Blues and Just Can’t Be Satisfied and went into more mellow mode with Creole Belle and All Just Talk. Chris James is at his very best when he involves the audience and they had no hesitation in belting out the choruses to Jesus On The Mainline and Old Time Religion. He is able to draw out an authentic Mississippi Delta sound and has the voice to match…'
