Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Chris Kimsey and recorded live from the floor with the Roomful of Blues horn section plus Chuck Leavell and Reese Wynans, 'Colin James and the Little Big Band' revives late-1940s and early-1950s jump blues and swing standards including 'Cadillac Baby', 'Train Kept A-Rollin'' and 'Evening'.
