Early James’ 2024 album, ‘Medium Raw’, produced by Dan Auerbach and recorded at Buddy Jackson’s Honky Chteau, stands as his most compelling work to date. The collaboration with Auerbach infuses the album with a gritty authenticity, capturing Early James’ soulful storytelling and powerful vocal delivery. The production incorporates a field recording approach, giving the album an organic, lived-in feel that enhances its emotional depth. ‘Medium Raw’ delves deep into the heart of Americana, blending blues, rock, and folk influences with an unfiltered edge. A gifted lyricist in the Southern Gothic tradition, Early James weaves dark narratives that resonate with raw emotion, while blending the whimsical with the profound. His signature, sly storytelling is evident across the album’s twelve tracks, each a testament to his unyielding passion with a musical landscape that pushes boundaries.
