Susan James "Wandering"

Susan James is described by The Los Angeles Times as a “a master at exploring the emotional and sonic possibilities,” and Blurt Magazine notes, “excellent songwriting and an eye for musical details.” With a California hybrid of psychedelic country-folk rock, she has shared stages with Lindsey Buckingham, Sun Volt, Richard Thompson, Rufus Wainright, Daniel Lanois just to name a few. “Wandering” is the “most free-wheeling and happy-go-lucky number on the album,” shares James. “When Ryan and I began, we talked about how it should be as acoustic as possible, but still have a big sound. Our aim was to get the acoustic guitar to really rock, like the guitars in the Rolling Stones Street Fighting Man or something like that. We called it 'The Wall of Intimacy". And every song had to have it in a way, no matter how big or small the song was. I think we achieved it, and I'm proud to share it with everyone now.”
