A career-spanning program of originals from live or studio performances without overdubs, James Talley’s Journey: The Second Voyage conveys a range of emotion as broad as the American landscape. Resiliency and generosity of spirit course through this music, whether expressed by a working stiff punching the clock or by a scuffling songwriter getting the doors of Nashville's Music Row slammed in his face. Blues, country, folk, Americana: call it what you will, James songs have been recorded by such artists as Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, Gene Clark, Johnny Paycheck, and Moby.
