Gold; Joaquin Betancourt; Cliff Masterton; Mark Taylor ; David Davidson . | | James Morrison may have the same last name as the late lead singer of the Doors, but the young Brit has much more in common with the confessional singer-songwriters of the 1970s: he's much closer to James Taylor or Jackson Browne than "Light My Fire." SONGS FOR YOU, TRUTHS FOR ME is as earnest and self-revealing as its title, filled with songs that directly address Morrison's girlfriend and other intimates, set to gentle adult contemporary soft rock tunes. "You Make It Real" and "Once When I Was Little" are key tracks. |

 | James Morrison - Songs For You, Truths For Me - CD Review By: Jeff Perkins - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 10/29/2008 12:47 PM | | The songs on Songs For You, Truths For Me are clearly written from the heart, and are drawn from the experience he has gained from the incredible journey he is on. It is slightly more direct than Undiscovered, more worldly wise, a little more mature. The honesty in his approach simply flows through tracks such as “Save Yourself”, “You Make It Real”, and Love Is Hard”. It is almost like you are intruding on a private letter.

| | Artist Overview | | Rugby, U.K., singer-songwriter James Morrison could be the genetic offspring of James Blunt, Joss Stone, and Terence Trent-D'Arby. Soulful vocals mixed with sensitive acoustic guitars, and some tasteful Beatles-esque string flourishes, and there you have it. Morrison's debut album, UNDISCOVERED, released in July of 2006, owed as much to contemporaries KT Tunstall and Damien Rice as it did to legends like Otis Redding, Cat Stevens, or Nick Drake--and that undeniably successful formula, not surprisingly, took the album to the top of the U.K. album charts. |
