“James Hunter is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R&B and soul. Check him out.” – Van Morrison
“I was a James Hunter fan the minute I heard him sing… If you haven’t heard a real soul singer with a great band and swinging horns then get your shoes shined and get ready. Hunter is coming to town.” -Chris Isaak
