It's been more than two years since his debut album now Casey James readies a new album and a new direction in his life as a person, musician,artist and entertainer. One shouldn't pigeon hole James who's much more than just a singer song writer. The growth and maturity shows in his style and artistry. The first single release on the highly anticipated sophomore album yet to be announced, "Fall Apart" was a song he heard from his producer. Written by Zach and Josh Carter of KINGSTON along with Will Bowden came about on inspiration in an earlier interview with KINGSTON ( see KINGSTON interview on the next page) James was so intent on having the song as it resonated with him. One who has heard "Fall Apart" the lyrics ring true to moving on from a broken heart or torn relationship. Several can relate.
Currently on a state to state radio tour James previews new material, one song that will appear on the soon to be album "Living Room" has a bluesy,southern country vibe. Again it's eminent on the direction James takes lyrically and musically in either choosing material or writing his own. In the two plus years Casey's views have changed yet when it comes down to it he's the same person he was just 5 years ago on the indicated reality TV music competition American Idol, James third place finish was just the beginning of a career fans knew early on. As myself saw much more than a musician, someone who's faced adversity and the growing challenges men his age deal with, it's human nature, and clearly Casey has risen above it all in faith. What more can be is the sense of humor and not taking himself so seriously as he recently sat down with Big D and Bubba In The Morning Show Monday March 30th, the day "Fall Apart" impacted radio. Casey discussed a number of topics and one on a friend recommending a supplement he should try, he explains "Not only does this green concoction smell like grass it tastes like it. This is cows food, not something any human should drink, so I tried it," he laughs. D and Bubba simultaneously burst saying, "maybe it came from cow stock." Laughing as I did thought, okay here is country music's biggest Goobers in one room having just a good ole time. Nothing wrong with it either making the morning show that much better. James brings up to discussion the process a bit on this album which was clearly getting it right, all that he has gone through in these past two years to get this album together. "The growing up I did to where I am now is in this music", he explained. James is so excited fans are bursting at the seams to when the album will be complete and ready to hear in it's entirety. From radio station to radio station to fan chats, Q & A's Casey's itching to hit the road more in 2015, and already have several shows coming up in the next few months.
