    Yeah... that one is definitely one of the more noisy ones.... Here's a few quieter ones!

    Nice one, James. For me, much better. The second video is my favourite, which is just nice, simple and soulful - atmospheric, too. Sometimes less is more!

    Don’t get me wrong, I like ‘noisy' too, when it comes to live BANDS, if it’s done right (and love heavy blues/rock music), but when I see ‘one man and a guitar’ on stage, I much prefer listening to something in the style of John Martyn, than some ‘noisy stomp', designed to get pissed-up daftees clapping in a club….

    Good stuff, dude - you have talent. I’d work more on your gentler, stripped-back stuff. I hope you go far!
