Description:
Denise James, an extremely talented songwriter, singer and musician from Detroit, has recorded an album that combines ethereal jangle and harmony (think an alternative Petula Clark or Linda Ronstadt with echoes of Patsy Cline) with a `60s feel. With guitar textures to die for the only way to describe the whole mix is "gorgeous." Promises is a singer/songwriter album of a rare category. Denise is actually French and grew up listening to Francoise Hardy around the house as well as the regional Detroit radio stations that have inspired all of the great mid-western musicians.
