Vinyl LP pressing including digital download. The James Hunter Six are back with another sublime offering of no nonsense rhythm and blues. Recorded and produced by Bosco Mann, Nick of Time is a shining example of how a master song-smith can continually draw fresh water from a bottomless well. In addition to the uptempo, swinging R&B that has put JH6 on the map, Nick of Time explores so much more! The opening track and lead single, 'I Can Change Your Mind', is a beautiful, mid-tempo rumba that tips the hat to the sound of many early King/Federal releases, but executed with a vibrancy that propels the tune into the 21st Century. The lush arrangements on 'Till I Hear it from You' and ' He's Your Could Have Been' sound like lost tracks from an early '60s Burt Bacharach session. The straight forward soul of 'Brother or Other' (whose timely message is only tantamount to it's groove), and the sparse 'Paradise for One' (that finds James channeling his innermost Nat King Cole), enrich the album with sounds one may not readily associate with James and Co. - culminating in James' most exciting full-length release to date.
