Jamie James - Straight Up [Red]
Straight Up by Jamie James comes dressed in red vinyl and swagger, because subtle was never really the point.
A guitarist, singer, and songwriter with roots running through rockabilly, blues, and straight-ahead American rock, James brings a lifetime of stage miles to this punchy set. From The Kingbees and their sharp-edged hit My Mistake to his work with DQ and The Sharks, his career has always had one boot in vintage grit and the other tapping impatiently toward the next groove.
On Straight Up, he reunites with his DQ and The Sharks bandmates, folding road-tested chemistry into a sound that feels loose, lively, and fully plugged in. Tracks like My Mistake, Straight Up, and the album’s deeper cuts lean into twangy guitar bite, bar-band snap, and James’ sly vocal presence - the kind of delivery that sounds like it knows where the jukebox keeps its secrets.
There is history here, too: touring with Steppenwolf in the late '70s, collaborating with Harry Dean Stanton, and carrying the LA rockabilly flame with real-deal authority. This red vinyl pressing gives Straight Up a collector-friendly flash, serving up Jamie James in full-color confidence - sharp, seasoned, and still plenty dangerous after dark.
