James' 1st album is out. Produced by Keith Greeninger with a cast of musicians from the greater San Francisco area. This recording features 13 original songs in a warm, contemporary folk style. Heart centered, heliotropic, and organic. Sometimes Beatlesque and in spots Paul Simonish, with an occasional jazz tilt or latin rhythm, it features catchy melodies with heartfelt lyrics that speak of loss, longing, rebirth, reunion, lightness.

"James May is an artist worthy of attention, spotlight, and praise...amazing."

— Cyrus Rhodes
president - Indie Music Digest

“The first thing I noticed about James’ songs is the stunning beauty of his melodies and chord movement. The more I listened, the more I came to appreciate the depth and vulnerability of his lyrics as well. James writes and sings with a rare and powerful sensitivity."

— Steve Meckfessel singer/songwriter www.stevemeckfessel.com

"Passionate songwriting steeped in light, love, loss and resolution. Lovely music."

— Laurie DesJardins - KVMR radio broadcaster www.kvmr.org

"James May’s songs weave their way into the heart, the bones, and the soul. The combination of potent lyric fused with rich melody is strong medicine from an artist who, with open arms, faces both the joy and the strife of our human journey with equal passion."

— Keith Greeninger singer/songwriter/producer www.keithgreeninger.com
