How many of you have it?  What do you think about it if you do have it?

I like it. I posted a full review on my LJ here if you're interested. I will say that, since the first listen, "Not a Millionaire" has really grown on me (I admit to a weakness for race cars), but I'm still skipping over "Too Fast" and most of the time "Layabout," and I can't help giggling at "Birth of the Blues." Other than that, though, I really like the other songs, and I think it's a vast improvement over his first CD.

Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat.

Thanks for the review.  I love his voice and I love the music. But sometimes his lyrics are no good. I agree with you on that.  I love James so I have to get me his new CD.

I like it, too.  At the first listen I wasn't sure if I liked it better than his other CD, but it kind of grew on me after hearing it a second time. 

When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you, and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the one, Buffy.

Prefer the live versions still, but it's definitely better than the production on his first CD. The only saw I didn't know was "When I Was A Baby", which was brand new....and a notable step up in James' writing.

I have the cd. The only song that I don't really like is Too Fast.  Speaking of "Too Fast"  I have read from one of the James' board that the song was about Eliza Dushku.  The title was originally "Liza" but I guess he changed it "Too Fast". 

I know that the song "Dangerous" is about Michelle Trachtenberg. It would be interesting if  "Too Fast" was about Eliza Dushku. Since the song is basically saying that he could he really fall for her but she wasn't looking for a relationship.  I think she has a boyfriend right now though. I think. I guess she met her match. hehe......

Both songs were originally written quite a while ago. "Too Fast" has been altered a little from the first version as he's been trying to have more 'story' songs.
