James Hunter puts out records under his own name and as leader of the James Hunter Six, as well as his first band Howlin’ Wilf and the Vee-Jays.
Consistent with being on Daptone, it’s a roots/revival R&B Soul sound – his breakout People Gonna Talk came out in 2006 on Rounder. I got a chance to see him in a small venue – the Firehouse Center for the Arts in Newburyport MA – the summer of 2007.
My copy of this record (via private sale) is a mono pressing on dark blue Daptone labels.
