TESTIMONIALS:
"...It was as if her voice reached down deep inside me and ministered to me. People ask me in interviews all the time about that girl who sang "When The Night Rolls In" and "Drowning In The Sea Of Love". This is definitely a chapter in my life I rewind often ...working with with someone like Teresa James, who has influenced me and affected me so profoundly..."
.........Kirk Whalum
"Teresa James is a true original. When she sings you can feel it in your bones."
......Levon Helm, "The Band"
"I haven't heard pipes of this caliber in a long time... this is an amazing body of work...this lady has star written all over her."
....James "the Blueshound" Nagel producer/programmer KPFT Houston
"...She is one of the most honest, gutsy, incredible singers you'll find. The Texas-bred James takes creative chances, investing amazing soul and spirit in her music."
