Six tracks from "Fools" have been included in the Fall, 2006 season of PBS' Roadtrip Nation...

"This is an eclectic mix of acoustic jazz, if there ever were a genre. Gabriel James is a Minneapolis singer-songwriter who brings a Midwest flavor to the crowded singer-songwriter realm. I suppose you could call him a male Ani DiFranco...His songwriting depicts attitude and edge...You won't get any sappy Mayeresque tracks here, but it's refreshing. "You know I'd give the world to you/If the world was mine/But you know the rules," he sings in "In the Hands of Fools." He's got the guitar antics of Ari Hest ala "Consistency" here, and through many of the tracks. As the album goes on, it only gets better as we slow down in "Maybe" and a little rhythmic in "Pretend." Overall, this was a refreshing listen. Favorite Tracks: In the Hands of Fools, Maybe. Rating: 4 stars." --Discovering Artists

"Gabriel James puts his music first and lets everything else fall into place. 'Music that speaks to the soul'...I can go along with that. If you dig your music on the acoustic side with a bit of jazz flavor, then you need to help yourself to a taste of 'Fools'..." --Ear Candy Magazine

"Gabriel James sophomore album is jazzy pop-rock at its very finest. He juggles between melodies like a circus clown, ridiculously throwing great catchy hooks at you like hes got a billion more where that one came from. His songwriting abilities to be sure are brilliant but its his voice thats going to attract most singer/songwriters to attempt to copy his style. Beautiful. Get this now." --J-Sin, Smother.net

"...Gabriel's songs succeed for many of the same reasons Ani DiFranco's do...Theyre confessional, intelligent tunes propelled by a slightly offbeat, funkified delivery..." --The Onion, Minneapolis
