162 - Jamie James

162 - Jamie James In episode 161 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist Jamie James. In their conversation Jamie tells us about how his open heart surgery led to his new album “Straight Up” after woodshedding through Covid. Jamie also tells us about the personnel on the album. Jamie takes us through his history: raised in Canada moved to LA via London and formed the Rockabilly band “the Kingbees” after jamming with Bob Seger. Jamie tells us about his gear throughout his life and the guitars that got away. Jamie tells us about a chance meeting with Harry Dean Stanton that led to a musical partnership that in turn led to a musical partnership with Dennis Quaid and his band the Sharks. Jamie describes how he ended up in the reformed version of (the new) Steppenwolf. Jamie also describes how opening for Van Halen early on before their record deal shaped his performance style.
