"...he already has one leg up on Keb' Mo'..."
-Chicago Sun Times
"In an era when popular music is becoming increasingly perfect sounding, and robotic, "Songs Famed for Sorrow and Joy" provides a much needed alternative."
- Allmusic Guide
"All muscles, model good looks, tattoos, and sepia-tinted pouting... if the Wu Tang Clan covered Robert Johnson it may sound a bit like this."
- Americana UK
"Samuel James is Keb' Mo' on steroids!"
- Oracles Music Network
"Samuel James is like a time machine- the same one that keeps bringing Son House and Mississippi John Hurt traveling back to the public consciousness."
- Portland Phoenix
"He made something (Songs Famed for Sorrow and Joy) timeless."
- Boston Phoenix

The whole family just saw you on the TV looky box. What's the name of that show? Area Code 207 or something like that?
And don't let anybody try to steal my soul with their cameras at the show this Saturday like they did last year. Just because I'm not using it doesn't mean it's up for grabs.
Great music! Thanks for your friendship, and welcome aboard the Redline ship. Looking forward to sharing the journey ahead with you. Take Care, and thanks again. Peace,
