Joshua
P. James’ songs could have been written yesterday or 60 years ago. With a
tight, blazing rhythm section, those songs are let loose with a modern energy,
free of gimmickry or signs of traditional Country tourism. The trio sells their
soulful, gritty take with a straight-from-the-gut delivery, the early
Folk/Country/Blues sound oozing forth effortlessly. James released his solo
debut, As Long As I Am Tall, in 2010 and added the Paper Planes in early
2011, bringing them to Cincy for an appearance at last year’s MidPoint Music
Festival within six months of playing together for the first time. For James
and the Planes’ show Saturday, the group returns to the scene of that successful
MPMF.11 show.
