James Walbourne - The Hill

Despite only still being in his late 20s James Walbourne’s musical pedigree is already an enviable one. Stints playing live with the likes of The Pernice Brothers, Son Volt, Jay Farrar and The Pogues and session work with Jerry Lee Lewis, Edwyn Collins and Linda Thompson amongst others have gained him a respect beyond his years.

The Hill, named as a nod to Muswell Hill, Walbourne’s locale, is beautifully soulful, full of deftly written songs and features Jim Keltner on drums (primarily known for his session work with Bob Dylans and  on solo recordings by three of The Beatles – George, John & Ringo) and Ivan Neville on keyboards (son on Aaron Neville, songwriter in his own right, Rolling Stone collaborator).
