“…..James, formerly of the Hot Club of Cowtown, goes the old-time gypsy-swing route. Her fiddle work is accessible yet inventive, which is why Bob Dylan lured her to tour with his band and why she linked with Texas legend Johnny Gimble to provide twin fiddles on a recent Willie Nelson album. Her vocals lack the character and range of great jazz and swing vocalists, but as heard on her just-released self-titled solo album, she’s an engaging performer who overcomes her limitations with a breezy lack of pretension.”
