As with the treasure trove of tapes that Rob Bartlett lent us, there are some 45s in this batch that we don't have a lot of back story on. Rob tells us that artists would book studio time, and sometimes Sundae Sound's own version of the wrecking crew would help back said artist up - which is what it looks like happened here. Aaron James' solid roots rock songs channel a bit of John Cougar Mellencamp, and the backing by Ron Matrsalla, Dan Patton, and Frank Lockwood is top notch. This is pretty great - and clearly was good enough to win James some form of award: [img width=317px]//7ca49eb9f67ba1319ef136f9d52cd8b8.cdn.bubble.io/f1711315653770x249802871426627620/richtext_content.jpeg[/img]
