James Gagne

A single release from James Gagne brings a warm and lush tone to a classic track and does it with a clear love for the original along with enough heart to feel it come through with every note.

As far as cover songs go, it seems like you have to be able to walk a certain line to be able to pull them off properly and James does this with perfect balance so that you know there's meaning behind him covering this release.

This is a cover of "Last Worthless Evening" only by Don Henley and James is able to keep the vibe that the original had strong, but also bring his own feel to it to give something that's refreshing but still impactful and colorful.

This song has a way of floating and flowing in a particular manner and the guitars and the tones of those guitars are a really important element to that flow.

The track has a way of wrapping itself around you and keeping it right where it wants to which is wonderful because it gets your full attention.

He also puts a lot of passion behind the delivery vocally, especially during the choruses which is quite a wonderful buildup as well.

The thing about doing a cover song like this is you have to be able to perform it in your own way while still giving the understanding that it is an ode to the original song and James pulled this off without a hitch.

This release has amazing character to it, and you can tell that there was a lot of attention to detail during the recording of this track, but it never loses that Soul which I think is the most important part of it all.
