Recorded and produced by Bosco Mann, Nick of Time is a shining example of how a master song-smith can continually draw fresh water from a bottomless well. In addition to the uptempo, swinging R\u0026amp;B that has put JH6 on the map, Nick of Time explores so much more! The opening track and lead single, \"I Can Change Your Mind\", is a beautiful, mid-tempo rumba that tips the hat to the sound of many early King\/Federal releases, but executed with a vibrancy that propels the tune into the 21st Century. The lush arrangements on \"Till I Hear it from You\" and \" He's Your Could Have Been\" sound like lost tracks from an early '60s Burt Bacharach session. The straight forward soul of \"Brother or Other\" (whose timely message is only tantamount to its groove), and the sparse \"Paradise for One\" (that finds James channeling his innermost Nat King Cole), enrich the album with sounds one may not readily associate with James and Co. - culminating in James' most exciting full-length release to date. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I Can Change Your Mind Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWho's Foolin Who Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTill I Hear It From You Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNever Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMissing In Action Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNick of Time Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrother Or Other Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAin't Goin' Up In One Of Those Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTake It As You Find It Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan't Help Myself Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow 'Bout Now Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eParadise For One Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe's Your Could've Been Buy\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Daptone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42474912710885,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/products\/image_large_9a6ba2f3-9827-42af-bb9d-3333938ecb29.jpg?v=1644702378"},{"product_id":"the-james-hunter-six-whatever-it-takes-vinyl-lp","title":"The James Hunter Six - Whatever It Takes - Vinyl LP","description":"JAMES HUNTER had already established himself as a permanent fixture in the world of Rhythm and Soul with his five previous albums, each more poignant and well-executed than the last. However, Whatever It Takes has buried them all. His voice has never been more compelling, his songs never more elegantly crafted. Recorded to tape at Daptone's Penrose Studios in Riverside, California, Bosco Mann's production elevates Hunter's arrangements to the altitude they deserve.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe needle drops on \"I Don't Wanna Be Without You.\" Saxophones grabbing your collar, pulling you close. Moving you over the undulating curves of a rhumba. The coquettish bubbling of the organ. James words curl casually into your ear, When we met, I was pretty well set in my ways... There is an effortless intimacy here. The casual confidence of a song-smith who has honed his craft beyond reproach. Not just the lyrics, but the melodies, the harmonies, the rhythms, phrasing, all locking into perfect synchronicity. A unified devotion serving only their master's voice. And his voice. Almost violently tender, plucking lyrics off a seemingly endless vine and feeding them to you with the eager patience of a lover.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is a common theme here. It's not a record about infidelity, shallow seductions, fleeting backdoor trysts, or any of the other common clichés of R\u0026amp;B. These are poetic testaments to truer love. Loyalty, devotion, humility, and the inevitable regret of those who take love for granted. Clearly inspired by his new bride, Hunter is singing about the preciousness of a love he plans to keep, Whatever It Takes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003exI Don't Wanna Be Without You \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhatever It Takes \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI Got Eyes \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMM-Hmm \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlisters \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI Should've Spoke Up \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShow Her \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDon't let Pride Take You For A Ride \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow Long \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt Was Gonna Be You \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Daptone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42474931781861,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/products\/image_large_6e646965-c553-464f-9c94-d223859334e8.jpg?v=1644703051"},{"product_id":"the-james-hunter-six-hold-on-vinyl-lp","title":"The James Hunter Six - Hold On! - Vinyl LP","description":"This may be James Hunter's fourth album, but it is his first on Daptone. Produced by Daptone's own Bosco Mann (Gabriel Roth) at Penrose Recorders (Daptone West) near his home in Riverside, CA, Hold On! is a perfect portrait of an artist at the top of his game. James Hunter has been on the scene for enough years to acquire plenty of feathers in his cap. Billboard charts, Grammy nominations, and Van Morrison collaborations aside, he has earned an international reputation as a Rhythm and Blues troubadour for his command of the microphone both on stage and in studio. This album, however, is something far deeper than just another notch in his belt. It is truly an artist’s vision come to fruition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If That Don't Tell You Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Is Where We Come In Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Baby) Hold On Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSomething's Calling Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Truer Heart Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFree Your Mind (While You Still Got Time) Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight My Life Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStranded Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSatchel Foot Buy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn The Dark Buy\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Daptone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42474932306149,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/products\/image.php_id_261_size_1024_g_profile_daptonerecords.audiosalad_large_2d17b142-2cb5-45e6-8dc8-89834651a99d.jpg?v=1644703084"}],"url":"https:\/\/freshproducerecords.com\/collections\/the-james-hunter-six.oembed","provider":"Fresh Produce Records Macon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
