I don't know if you guys have ever heard about this guy, but he's an incredible singer and guitar player. Vocally, he sounds like a young Ron Isley meets Smokey, but very much contemporary.

His album sounds underp-roduced, although it's probably intentional.

Worse, he doesn't seem to have the appropriate marketing muscle and label support to promote his album LMNOP, and i'm just concerned that this huge talent will vanish into obscurity and go the Lewis Taylor route. Don't let that happen and let's spread the word --if you dig him.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Jamie! First, I misread the thread title as JACKIE GRAHAM. Love me some Jackie Graham. But I digress. Now... Why you got so many names, brah? I like to Google people to find out who they are, what they do, what they've done, see if they've got any nude pictures floating around, etc... Name recognition and a strong internet presence is very important if you want to be a star. Do you want to be a star? 'Cause Googling "Jamie Graham" brought up some naked chick, a heavy metal singer, and a kid playing his acoustic guitar before I finally found you. More sleuthing on my part unearthed your other aliases (stage names) and your Wikipedia page (which doesn't mention your new album). What's this about, Jamie? Are you running from your past?

[If you aren't the other person I think you are, disregard all that^^]

Anyway... The music is tight.

Your post seems to imply that I'm Jamie Graham himself? I'm not. I'm just a music fan who gets excited with new promising acts, and I haven't felt this excited since I first discovered Lewis Taylor back in late 90's, hence the comparison with Jamie.

You'd better get the facts straight before throwing false accusations -- just saying. And no, Sherlock, I really have no idea what you meant by "if you aren't the other person I think you are".

In any case, we both seem to agree that the music is tight.

Peace.

Mmmkay.
