    From the Top is a mix of folk and rock and Americana, but James bends them all into new and daring shapes. [Jan 2013, p.95]

    The biggest complaint about From the Top of Willamette Mountain is that it could have been tightened up a bit more, it’s safe to say that James is an impressive songwriter, a considerable skill to have given how easy it is to churn out singer/songwriter folk these days.

    The range of effects the place has on the folk singer resulted in his most resonant work yet.

    From the Top of Willamette Mountain sounds more confident than the UK debut he released earlier this year.
