"'Miles To Go' is his 19th album and it sets the bar high, for with the exception of two excellent self penned songs, he aims to bring new vitality to an extant familiar catalogue of blues songs. He does so by playing to his strengths as a vocalist of some substance and a guitarist who phrasing makes an equally significant emotional connection as his voice ... Such is the quality of his own songs that it's a shame he didn't find room for a couple more, rather than revisiting a the sort of blues covers that all self respective blues fans already have copious versions of".

"One of the best Canadian interpreters of traditional blues is Colin James. On his last album 2016's "Blue Highway" James paid tribute to some of his influences. That album spent ten weeks at No. 1 on the Roots Music Report's Blues Chart. This is James' sequel to that collection ... James is a wonderful vocalist and entertainer who continues to keep traditional blues alive. James adds blues "is the only genre where you can maintain a young profile at the age of 53". The music keeps us all young. Thank you, Colin James".
