James Grant - Grass Roots Music Special

[@acoustically9201]

James really understands dynamics in songs. He uses his vocal range cleverly. Plays to his strengths in the lower register where he is a rare beast alongside Mark Lanegan, Dave Gahan etc. but can go up when necessary. This leads to a varied listen across an album and interesting dynamics within songs. Only when I saw them live did I realise just how good a lead player he is. His acoustic 'flat picking' is high class too. This is no easy skill. To pick with such accuracy in the acoustic ballads he plays while singing with such control is quite something. I've seen him numerous times solo and he sits patiently in the song, drawing the listener in like few can. He writes brilliant songs which are rooted in the past but never cliched. He is a rare talent, the likes we may never see again in Scotland. He is the complete package and was so as a very young man. All that said, where he is truly wold class is in his lyrics.

well done guys. James Grant baritone pairs very well with the cello

Despite the graphic in the video saying otherwise, I'm quite sure "State of Art" was NOT on Love and Money's 1988 release "Strange Kind of Love". It was on "Trapped and Unwrapped" by Friends Again, released in 1983 (?). This was the band James was in prior to L&M.
