- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
An icy morning in late February in the historic Oakwood section of downtown
Raleigh, brought the start of the studio sessions for James DunnÆs debut EP,
ôLonely American Dreamö. The 9 days of sessions brought seven new tracks of
Americana, rock n roll, blues and folk music. Written in an old apartment
over an antique store in Raleigh, NC, ôLonely American Dreamö takes the
listener on a ride down the road of love, love lost with some fun and rock n
roll and living along the way.
Music came rather late to James, in comparison to many of todayÆs songwriters.
Given a a steel guitar by his grandfather in college, the instrument collected
dust for a few years until a move to Bowling Green, Kentucky and Nashville,
Tennessee brought music back into focus. His grandfather played in the æbig
bandsÆ of the 30Æs and 40Æs in the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern
Pennsylvania. JamesÆ grandfatherÆs passing inspired him to take up music and
carry on the tradition of songwriting and music. It is difficult to classify
DunnÆs musical genre as it hits on rock, folk, blues and Americana, all the
while, focusing on lyrics that leave the listener the opportunity to see their
own lives through the songÆs lyrics.
Having lived in New Jersey, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee, James
DunnÆs music has influences from his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina to the
Jersey coast all the way to the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee.
