future classics from the james hunter six.

here come the james hunter six! serving yet another delicious dish of what you wish with the premier single off their upcoming lp, whatever it takes (dap-051). and i’ll be a monkey’s uncle if james hasn’t delivered two of his most compelling sides to date on this one. “i don’t wanna be without you” is a graduate level course in the three r’s of r&b: rhythm, rhyme, and romance. a sultry rumba sets the mood, as hunter swaggers in – donning his finest voice like a crisp tuxedo, complete with ruffled vibrato and rhyming cuff-links – and proceeds to lay on an absolute heart-stealin‘, deal-sealin’, panty-peelin‘ gem. on the flip, “i got eyes” loosens the collar and brings the metro- nome mark up a few clicks for a punchy tightened-up workout, edged-up with vibes and street corner backgrounds.

a permanent fixture in the world of rhythm and soul, james hunter follows up five critically acclaimed albums with his latest recording, whatever it takes, for new york city’s renowned label, daptone records. at the height of his famed recording career, hunter and daptone co-founder and producer bosco mann recorded an elegantly crafted collection of 10 originals that are evermore poignant and compelling than the singers previous works. the james hunter six and mann recorded whatever it takes straight to tape at daptone’s penrose studios in riverside, california.

behold! the dishy new platter from england s finest export since its eponymous muffin, james hunter and his cheeky band-o-blokes, the james hunter six, is here. side a features the title track of his brand new smash long player, “(baby) hold on” - a classic shuffler that delivers an honest blast of raw r&b the way it s meant to be done. flip the little bugger over and rejoice to a classic hunter cut that, much to the chagrin of low-rider and rocksteady djs alike, has eluded the 45 format. till now! rerecorded during the sessions for hold on!, “carina” now possesses a more relaxed, classic rocksteady feel. coupled with gorgeously simple background vocals and james pleading lead - this tune now boasts a truly dizzying level of emotional intelligence. if you don t like this song, you re an emotionally bankrupt soul, deaf to beautiful things.

this may be james hunters fourth album, but it is his first on daptone. produced by daptones own bosco mann (gabriel roth) at penrose recorders (daptone west) near his home in riverside, ca, hold on! is a perfect por trait of an ar tist 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 ar tists vision come to fruition. the vinyl lp includes a download code.

within the house of soul, the daptone staff is affectionately referred to as the hate crew, a name they have earned from their years of ruthless evisceration of anything which doesnt meet their impossibly idealistic expectations. armed with rolling eyes and barbs of sarcasm, they are the true guardians of the daptone sound. the problem is, this new james hunter single has turned them all into adorable little kittens. they spend all day mewing to the ballads and scampering about to the uptempo cuts instead of selling records. in an effor t to save the company, label boss neal sugarman declared a hunter free zone, but when he tried to pr y the test pressing of hunter s latest single from the office turntable and replace it with something a bit more hate-able, the needle slipped and dropped back into the grooves of somethings calling, irreversibly morphing him too into a small playful kitten. meow , james hunter
