James received a huge, standing ovation, and by the end of the night no one seemed to be talking about Bryan Adams - Colin James was the main topic of discussion.

 Colin James Takes a Trip With "Traveler"
Colin James is not short of ambition, as his latest CD, Traveler, confirms.
Traveler's version of Drake's posthumously released "Black Eyed Dog" is more of a tribute than a re-imagining: James stresses the musical links between the Mississippi blues styles of the 1920s and Drake's distinctively English brand of spookiness, but his rendering hews closely to the author's original.
Traveler's third cover is maybe a little less surprising, but it's the one you'd think James would have worried about the most.
