“I know that feeling sad brings out the best in songs, but I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone” James Summerfield
James Summerfield has seen much in his 26 years; still in his teens when his first band, Buick 6, came to the attention of the late John Peel’s audience through the wonderful “Drunk on my Porch” single and 2 sessions for the show, and not even 20 before the band split after Major Label dithering and management company disasters.
