Roland Brown Crying is the expression of our deepest emotions, I think. We cry when we are sad, we cry when we are deeply moved, and we cry when we are overcome with happiness. “He Made People Feel”.

Lazarus Knight A powerful line - "It’s the distance from the bulb. It’s not the fading of the light."

David Young I have always felt an emotional connection to your songs. “Help” was your song that first caught my attention then “Hickory Stix” and “Lisa Makes Appointments.” You have such a great talent for introducing characters and describing situations. You do it with simple but perfect lyrics and wonderful tunes. I never get tired of crying along with you!

I like it. It's a bit genius but it does prove that you write songs that don't always make you cry. Tony Desmuke

you are a great Songwriter my friend, lost my wife of 10 years little over a year ago So it touches home, done its job... Mr Jones

Bill Jones Hey James' Little long but guess you had nothing but Time...lol' Not bad~Not bad at all. Songwriter, myself I really Listen for the stories that make up an Artist, and his music...

Good work and good works to you! - Norm Ballinger

I was confused, thought I would hear ”I play C” which was the very 1st song I ever heard you sing, with guitar at a Kerrville Folk Festival. This instrumental has a large piece of yout soul in it. Handsomely done sir.

Love it - Elizabeth Smith

Roberta Hargrove This is beautiful!!! I

Lazarus Knight That was great, sir. I wasn't aware that you could tickle the keys that well. The piano suggests the melody so strongly that if you told me the instrumental came before the lyrics I could easily believe it.

Roberta Hargrove This is beautiful!!! I

Naad Kaur Khalsa James Michael Taylor love your recordings...this one has me feeling very much like I'm ok...just keep going...write and post anyway...just keep being somehow.. .still...I would so much love to have some lovin

Robert Hayden Amazing collection of like minded thoughts. Very well structured & synched to a Havana like beat. Well done sir

Cheri Chandler Lovely sad song

Cheri Chandler James Michael Taylor that's so very sadly moving. A beautiful heart like yours to have remained locked away for so many years....

James Buchanan Sounds kinda Jimmy Dean or Tennessee Ernie.

Beautiful song very effectively sung.

Love your delivery.

Has a Townes Van Zandt sadness about it.

You need to get in touch with Jody Jones to get a slot at the songwriter showcase at the Magnolia in Fort Worth on Monday nights.

The new John Renborn.

Lost my mom a couple of years ago. I understand your playing with so much feeling. I try to hold on to my mom by singing in her clear sweet voice.

Great picking.

That's relaxing...

So well said.

That's even cooler if you can program drums all by yourself. I just tap them out on my midi keyboard sometimes, or whack a snare drum, add some reverb and pull it back in the mix. About THE WINNOWING, I don't know if it's obvious but I sang all the parts.

...and now you are going nashville on us. What range you have!

Could be the theme music for one of those007 movies. Very English.

Welcome to Alonetone. And thanx for listening to my songs. I like this. So sparse. So nimble when you go to the second guitar. Are those live drums?

This is very popie/r&B. Sounds like a fun one to sing. I might have posted LAYLA back when i first recorded it. Can't remember

Yeah, imaginary lovers are easier to keep around.

I will miss his very specific and kind comments.

Wish you would tell more about who you are and about this song. So beautiful.

Sooooo pretty.

ATTITUDE! Yes!
