Drum roll...


Hi everyone!
Thanks so much for your nicely impatient nudges about my next CD release!
I've received some lovely feedback since the Christmas CD was released - I had to laugh when someone said "James it's about time you brought out your next CD, I've been playing your Christmas one all summer!"

I'm soooo bad at juggling things, hence the long space of time between blog posts!
I've been working away busily, via emails (isn't technology fantastic!) with composer Sally DeFord, to put the finishing touches on my latest album, which I recorded the vocals for in Colorado Springs this last summer.

Well, I'm very excited to announce that... my new album "How Can I Keep From Singing?" is now available!
It was so much fun recording the vocals and working on the fabulous arrangements by Sally. I also had the pleasure of recording two duets with LDS singer Allyse Smith Taylor over at Soularium Studios in Alpine, Utah.
The CD also features some wonderfully talented instrumentalists. They include Pianist - Marvin Goldstein, Woodwind player - Daron Bradford, Cellist - Ramona McConkie and Violinist - John Leavitt.

It was so much fun working on this project and I'm really pleased with the outcome.

"How Can I Keep From Singing?" is now available at www.jamesloynes.com and if you are in the UK is also available at the Latter-day Book Stores in either Chorley or Godstone.

Also, Anne Bradshaw (Famous Family Nights) is doing a "CD Give-away" on her blog that gives you a chance at winning the new album!

Good luck!
