    (December 13, 2017) A little over a decade ago, we introduced SoulTrackers to singer James Hunter, who scored a surprise hit and Grammy nomination with his retro soul sound on the brilliant album People Gonna Talk.  The former Van Morrison guitarist has been a busy man ever since, recording regularly and performing around the world.

    In February, James and his band The James Hunter Six will be issuing a new album, Whatever It Takes, sporting a retro sound and authentic recording style, with the band recording live to 8-track tape.

    In anticipation of the highly anticipated new disc, James and company have just released the single, “I Don’t Wanna Be Without You,” a midtempo number with a sly beat and a classic sound. It’s our newest SoulTracks First Listen. Check it out below and welcome back James Hunter!
