“Cut You Loose” (Live)
 
The first thing you notice about McKinley James’ extraordinary new EP Still Standing By is the serious mix of Motown soul and blues-based guitar playing. It doesn’t sound like the type of “blues” you get from traditional purveyors of the genre, but instead from a guitarist who understands chord theory so well you could swear you’re hearing a horn section sometimes. That’s because he leads a duo, and while guitar stores reverberate with licks from ham-fisted modern bluesmen when they don’t know shuffle from shinola, McKinley would walk into that guitar store, plug in, and summon the spirits of his own idols, nearly forgotten pioneers like Otis Rush and Johnny “Guitar” Watson. Still Standing By is his third EP, all of them fine listens, and here’s the thing... McKinley is only 21 years old.  

“In a town known for its musicians, McKinley James truly stands out to me as both a guitar slinger and damn fine singer and songwriter. He’s an old soul at just 20 – he lives it and breathes it and that’s why I think his music feels so genuine and so undeniably fresh” – Dan Auerbach
 
“I’ve known McKinley since he was knee-high to a grasshopper.  He’s one of my favorite guitarists on the planet, an uncanny hybrid of Steve Cropper’s impeccable economy and Link Wray’s reckless abandon. While his guitar has been cutting heads for years, I think his songwriting skill might be the blade to keep an eye on.”– JD McPherson
