| | In 1993, Colin James did the unthinkable, he followed-up two hugely successful rock records with an album of obscure "jump blues" for a project he dubbed "The Little Big Band" When news of the move hit the streets it was met with a certain amount of skepticism. | | | His second album, Sudden Stop, included the Billboard hit "Just Came Back." For his third album, Colin recorded the aforementioned Colin James and The Little Big Band album. | | | With the release of Colin James and The Little Big Band II, Colin revisits the era, bringing the music of Cab Calloway, Jimmy Wilson and Calvin Bowes to a whole new generation. |

| | Some trendy hipster must have told Colin James that "swing is the thing" right now, because in his newest album, "Colin James and the Little Big Band II," the Canadian singer/guitarist earnestly tries to jump aboard the fad train. | | | A follow-up to 1993's original "Little Big Band" album, James' sequel is an ode to '40s-style RandB dance tunes. | | | The sound quality is a little too clean, the vocals a bit too processed and the album as a whole just comes off as overly polished. |
