James Correa

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) Montreal Gazette- August 16, 2007 ***1/2 review of "Feelers" :In a city with so much hype to go around, you'd think more of it would have been thrown James Correa's way when the Montrealer released his 2003 winner, Ghosts In The Belly. After nearly four years, the Eastern spices in his folk-rock have been muted in favour of a rootsier approach. For a five-song EP, there'a lot of ground covered- from the devotional Patches Of Green Earth to the throat-ravaging blues of the title track. Whatever the setting, Correa's soulful rasp gives the questioning lyrics the intensity they require. All 6 Billion Faces should prick up a few extra ears thanks to Jorane playing Emmylou Harris to Correa's Gram Parsons. "GHOSTS IN THE BELLY" AVAILABLE ON ITUNES AND AT CDBABY.COM!!! .. CDBABY LINK for JAMES CORREA: Ghosts in the Belly -- "... a folk-rock gem of a CD, with an Eastern influence that would have lifted it above the standard singer-songwriter fare if Correa's literate lyrics hadn't already taken care of that job." - Jordan Zivitz (Montreal Gazette)**************************************************** **********
