Format:Audio CD
When you listen to this record it is easy to hear what he's got his talent from.
Beatiful melodies with great production from father. I am sure that he's got a bright future in the music industry.
I am looking forward to see him in concert soon.

Format:Audio CD
Although he maybe Macca's son, treat this album as it if were recorded by someone you've never heard of. It is a great collection and the bonus tracks are probably the best. I look forward to hearing more from James.
Format:Audio CD
After hearing both CD's on this collection, I was immediately impressed by the wide range of very different musical genres that you can hear throughout all 16 tracks, which taken together seem to give it a unique sound. Not only is James music quite different to his dad's, over all it sounds very different from any other artist or band that I've heard recently. You can hear a variety of influences on his music, almost everything from Nirvana to RnB, Indie-rock to Rock-pop, Folk music, and a lot more. Each individual track seems like it has sprung from its own little world with its own story to tell.
CD 1 Available Light has an excellent cover version of Neil Young's 'Old Man' but my favorite on CD1 has to be 'Angel' with `My Friend' running a very close second. Both `Glisten' and `Denial' have a darker edge to them but are emotive and powerful to say the least. The last 3 tracks on Available Light, again are completely different, `New York Times' and `Moonstar' being lighter, happier rock-pop compositions. While `I Love You Dad' has some amazing riffs on what sounds like either a Banjo or Ukulele in a soft but engaging melody.
My favorite track on CD 2 Close At Hand and of the entire collection is most definitely `I Only Want To Be Alone', with it's ululating, cascading vocals and it's energy.
`Else And Else But Dead' has a lot going on, with different styles intertwined, even at one point, in between rock and pop guitar riffs, sounding almost like an RnB tune (as in Usher or OutKast), which may not be the intention, but it certainly works for me!
`Jesus Be My Friend' is not a run of the mill happy-clappy Gospel song, listen closely to the lyrics on this one, it's much more complex than the title suggests, though both positive and powerful as a song. Both positive and powerful also best describes `Fallen Angel', where the lyrics seem to tell a story of redemption and renewal. `Spirit Guides' is uplifting and upbeat, as is `Your True Love' which is more Rock n' Roll, originally by Carl Perkins, the only other cover on the collection.
To me, James McCartney sounds like a man with a lot to say, about life, emotions, spiritualism, perhaps the human condition itself, which comes across subtly but powerfully through his lyrics. I look forward to hearing more!

Mundane and very average
Regardless of who his family are, this is an unremarkable album with songs that have pretentions to greatness but unfortunately none of them deliver. Read more

Genetic talent
In a different style with a different voice James McCartney succeeded with this first record.
