ABC 7's Countdown Chicago to 2012 with James Hunter

Ring in 2012 LIVE on ABC7 with English R&B and soul musician James Hunter at Mayne Stage!

Championed by Van Morrison, James Hunter hails from Colchester England but has every ounce of American soul. His latest album “The Hard Way” pays homage to horn-powered Motown gems such as Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson and received rave reviews from fans and critics alike. New York Times wrote, “Hunter has mastered a territory of American music beloved by fans and collectors worldwide.” Rolling Stone raves, “All it took was 10 seconds of listening to "The Hard Way," the title track from Brit soul man James Hunter's third U.S. album, before we knew the disc was unbelievably awesome.”
