James Blunt


My first choice to start my blog has to be James Blunt. With only 1 CD (Back To Bedlam) so far to his credit he is on his way to being a great songwriter and singer.

Check out his site at: http://www.jamesblunt.com/

As of today there is 33 days to the release of his 2nd CD (All The Lost Souls) with the first track "1973" already getting lots of radio play. His music speaks of so many personal stories such as the last track "No Bravery" from Back To Bedlam.

James Blunt grew up in a home in Britain where music was viewed as more of a disruption than anything else. His father was a career military man. James tried University studying Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering then, like his father tried the military where he ended up as a British soldier in Kosovo. It was in Kosovo in 1999 with a guitar strapped to his tank that he wrote the song "No Bravery". James does not like to discuss what he means in all his songs but it is not hard to understand what "No Bravery" is all about. He now lives in California with a reputation as quite the party goer. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm struggling right now with embedding youtube videos into this darn blog so for now all I can supply is links.
