On November 29, 2017, the new album Home Again by James Lee Baker was released. Produced by Christopher J. Bloom at SoundStructure Studios in Denver, Colorado, this album is a culmination of two years of songwriting, external critique, and re-writing. In collaboration with a number of fiverr.com artists like Toby Wilson, Stacia Estep, and others, this project, despite the eclectic global collaboration, is a Texas-inspired Americana album with flavors of Singer-Songwriter, Country, and Pop.
You can download the album for free by joining James' mailing list. Monthly, he sends out rich stories behind the songs and milestones along the way.
CDs have been ordered and digital streaming/downloads will be available after the 26th of November.
This new project, "Home Again", is a homage to my home state of Texas. A Country/Singer-Songwriter project, this is filled with songs that I've written in the last few years about various influences in my life including the red clay waters of The Canadian River, the iconic Cadillac Ranch, the famous Texas sunsets. I'm so excited to share this project with you!
I'm working hard in the studio to get a new EP out by the start of Autumn and have a couple more shows to add shortly! See you out there :)
