█ █
█ Timing, itÆs said, is everything. A boy drops out of college to fulfil █
█ his singer-songwriter destiny, loses his way despite experiencing highs █
█ among the lows, considers jacking it all in, which as happenstance has █
█ it, leads to him starting all over again. At which point, with nothing █
█ to lose, he produces the best work of his life, makes the right █
█ connections and stands to finally reap all that he has sewn. Destiny has █
█ finally come for James Levy. █
█ █
█ Released on Heavenly under the name James Levy And The Blood Red Rose, █
█ Pray To Be Free is a gorgeous, romantic and yet playful collection of █
█ jaunty pop and bruised ballads, imbued with stunning vocals and wrapped █
█ in a variety of velvet strings, suave horns and other colours of the █
█ night. ôA great traditional rock 'n' roll singer songwriter record,ö █
█ reckons Heavenly head honcho Jeff Barrett (and he should know, having █
█ worked with several of the best). In LevyÆs case, his aim was the kind █
█ of classic Serge Gainsbourg recorded in the æ60s with Brigitte Bardot █
█ and Jane Birkin, or Lee HazlewoodÆs similarly charged duets with Nancy █
█ Sinatra and Ann Margret. JamesÆ good pal Allison Pierce (of The Pierces) █
█ provides the female vocal riposte to JamesÆs manly desire in these █
█ sumptuous duels of love and war. Or as James says, ôI tend to write █
█ about death and relationships, and the death of relationships, but I █
█ cannot tell you why." █
