The stage name of wry and soulful Alabama singer/songwriter
Frederick James Mullis Jr.,
Early James draws from a deep well of American roots music. Backed by upright bassist Adrian Marmolejo,
James' expressive voice and stripped-down blend of Southern blues, country, folk, and jazz evokes
Jason Isbell by way of early
Tom Waits and
Harry Chapin. In 2019,
James inked a deal with
Black Keys'
Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound and headed into the studio to lay down tracks for a debut album. The deeply southern and luminous
Singing for My Supper, which featured a full-band, was released in 2020. ~ James Christopher Monger
