It’s been 10 years since the Englishman JAMES HUNTER BURST ONTO THE
SCENE WITH HIS U.S. debut People Gonna Talk (GO/Rounder 2006), topping
the Billboard Blues chart, earning a Grammy-nomination, and attracting
universal acclaim from critics and his fans—including Van Morrison,
Sharon Jones, and Allen Toussaint. Over the last decade, he’s toured
extensively around the world on the club, theatre, and festival
circuits, steadily growing a dedicated audience comprised of hardened
gig-goers, old-school baby boomers, and young hipsters alike. His
follow-ups The Hard Way and Minute By Minute (GO/Fantasy), further
cemented HUNTER’s reputation as a soul powerhouse, heralded for his
talents both as a live performer and perhaps even more so as a
songwriter, with The New Yorker describing his “tight, taut
compositions” as “rooted in American soul music without being
bound to it.”Now Hunter is back with his fourth album, Hold On!
marking his debut on Daptone Records, America’s premier soul imprint
and Hunter’s second collaboration with famed producer Gabriel Roth
aka Bosco Mann. It also marks a cumulative and consecutive total of 48
original songs written exclusively by Hunter, without resorting to a
single covered recording. At age 53, Hunter feels he has finally found
his home for making music.
