Cell Phone Blues - James Kinds & The All-Night Riders

James Kinds has always possessed a powerful voice, cutting his teeth on southern gospel and developing his own distinctive style as a young man. Inspired by juke-joint blues and early rock n roll, he left Mississippi for Chicago where he became a fixture on the local music scene mixing blues with soul and awing audiences with his explosive delivery and intense platform shoe high step routine.

Taking inspiration from a number of sources, they provide a unique balance between now and then, tradition and vision. **************************** James is author to over two hundred songs including "BodySlam", "Crack-Head Woman" "Love You From the Top" and the soul wrenching show stopper "Ada" . In 2008, James was inducted into The Iowa Blues Hall of Fame. ...
