Read the review of Blue James Band - Give Me the Love or Give Me the Fight CD on Home Grown Music.net

Blue James Band's third album, Give Me the love or Give Me the Fight, is a testament to the band's passion for imaginative, fun-filled, soul-soothing songs. The album sees the band as vibrant as ever, with their sunny roots/rock n' roll/reggae style fused throughout the album's ten tracks.Inventive musicality and lyrical style underlie Give Me the love or Give Me the Fight, allowing each track to take listeners on their own journey, while providing singularity that impresses like a fingerprint. The album is transcendent, yet accessible. Highlights include the reggae-infused "Not Ready For You" and the worldly "They Come and They Go."

At the heart of the album is the title track, the lyrics of which embody the often-ineffable complexities of love. Says singer/songwriter Clifton Williams..."I want passion in my relationships and with that comes the highs of love and the lows of fights. Without both, the passion is somehow muted." This type of sensitivity and depth, encapsulated in simple form, is thematic of the band's lyrical signature. Coupled with a rhythmic melody that pulses throughout the track, the song demands that you move your feet and sing along.

Give Me the love or Give Me the Fight uniquely captures Blue James Band's infectious energy, which fans around the world already enjoy in the band's spirited live shows. With Williams sitting as producer and Scott Riebling (Weezer, We The Kings) mixing, Blue James Band has released their most dynamic and inventive album to date.
