Chances are - you'll love it!
author: CW, UK
This is one of those albums that sounds really familiar, but fresh at the same time (does that make sense?!)
All the tracks are great and I just want to put it back on when it's finished - good stuff.

The Great Lucky Chance!
author: Paul Bondarovski, Midnight Special Blues Radio
On his The Last Second Chance CD (2006), Drew James has created his own music realm, attractive and hospitable to any Real Music lover, no matter his or her genre preferences. Strictly speaking, the album is recorded in a folk-rock key, but there's so much True Blue feeling in every track that they sound "more Blues" to me than many of the "canonized" 12-bar standards. The arrangements and performance are tasteful and natural, and the production is simply perfect (a George Martin level work done by guitarist Bruce Kaphan). To those yet deciding whether to buy or not this CD, I'd say it'd be one of their best investments, a "long term" one - the more you play this record, the better it sounds. Drew James' music world is a place to stay - "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".

A real Second Chance for songwriting
author: cracker
From the opening track I was pulled into the stories this CD has to offer. The organic musical quality was a perfect match to the straightforward, visual lyrical quality. The songs are totally unrepetitive -- kind of like watching a travel log. It has been a long time since I have had this kind of an experience with a new CD -- think early Tom Waits or The Band CD's. Highly recommended!
