I picked up the latest James Blunt CD last night at HMV. His first album took me by surprise and held the top spot in my collection for a while. There is no jinx for this sophomore as his second album is just as moving as the first. Somehow he finds a way to sing directly from his soul and grip me with the melodies. Unlike a lot of modern songwriters, he doesn’t write to merely rhyme. He is a true poet. I recommend this one if you have the opportunity to take a look. 10 solid tracks.
