Announcing Colin James’s new album: “Chasing the Sun”

Colin’s new album, “Chasing the Sun”, will be released on August 23, 2024 on Stony Plains Records. For his electrifying 21st studio album, Colin has assembled a towering roster of musical guests — Americana icon Lucinda Williams, harmonica ace Charlie Musselwhite, and legendary producer-guitarist Colin Linden, to name just three — to amplify seven scorching blues-rock originals and four dazzling covers.

Co-written with longtime sidekick Tom Wilson (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings) and the MacDonald Brothers (The Trews), the new album finds James powerfully building on a repertoire that has earned him eight JUNO Awards, 31 Maple Blues Awards, and induction in the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame.
