Jamie James
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Jamie James has had a rich and varied musical career, best known for his work with Dennis Quaid and The Sharks, his long-time collaborations with the late Harry Dean Stanton, his role as a touring member of Steppenwolf in the late ’70s, and as the lead singer and founding member of the LA-based rockabilly trio The Kingbees—the band behind the hit “My Mistake.” On his 10-track solo LP, Straight Up, James reunites with his DQ and The Sharks bandmates—Tom Walsh (drums), Ken Stange (organ), and Tom Mancillas (bass)—with Jamie on guitar and harmonica.
