AMERICANA UK - Lovely delicate dark brooding Americana
THE SCOTSMAN - One of the finest exponents of moss hung backwoods Americana you'll find in the UK

ABOUT JAMES SUMMERFIELD
James Summerfield has seen much in his 27 years; still in his teens when his first band, Buick 6, came to the attention of the late John Peel's audience through the wonderful "Drunk on my Porch" single and 2 sessions for the show, and not even 20 before the band split after major label dithering and management company disasters. Only 21 when he self-recorded his debut album, ‘Hailah, Hailah’, and to follow, ‘Paint The Road’, hit the streets in 2005 to great reviews from Mojo and Uncut. Since then, the acrimony of divorce and all the chaos this brings has dogged him. He endured a period of self doubt and reflection that saw him briefly retreat from music, his genuine true calling, dealing with troubles that could and have broken a weaker artist. On ‘Count To 10 and Start Again’, his 3rd solo album, Summerfield returns with a lightness of touch, dark and strange humor and his finely-honed, fantastic ear for melody to tell sweet tales of the biggest blows. It is his best work yet.
The album, co-produced with fellow Peel veteran Simon Fox (Grover), is undeniably frank and deals with his dark period yet contains the beautiful melodies and musical arrangements that followers of James' work will fondly remember. His 12 new songs and the 43 minutes of your life that this record asks for are more than a hint of what the future holds for this fantastic artist.
"I know that feeling sad brings out the best in songs, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone". James Summerfield 'Paper bag' from the album Count to ten and start again.
James joined Scott Matthews '12 Harps' on 2009 tour
