One of the finest new talents from the UK” - John Wooler

— John Wooler 5x Grammy Winner

One word I seldom use to describe a blues album is ‘suave’, but that sums up the new Will James. A cross between the blues and a cool jazz sensibility, Sundancer caught me off guard. Infectious elements of jazz, soul and rock & roll 60’s and 70’s style, it’s refreshing.” - John Kereiff
