James is steering the ship solo today, and he mixes some popcorn and midtempo stuff into the driving beat soul. He also plays a few local tunes, including one by Sonny Fisher (aka Fishback), one produced in Nashville by a renowned country music producer, and one he had to buy a copy from England to bring back home to Louisville.
