KIND WORDS….

"Love James Combs. He's one of those singer/songwriter/musicians who should have spent his entire career at the top of the charts." PENELOPE SPHEERIS, DIRECTOR, “THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION Pts 1, 2 & 3”, “WAYNE’S WORLD”

“An incredible addition to any Americana library.” NO DEPRESSION

“James Combs makes Americana music for people who think they don’t like Americana Music… Falling Under Spells’ could become the most successful of Combs’s solo albums. To that fertile mix of folk, pop, twang, and psychedelia Combs brings his undoubted songwriting skills and his refusal to be contained musically by any narrow definition of genre… give ‘Falling Under Spells’ a listen, you won’t be disappointed.”  AMERICANA UK 

“Combs is as adept at introspective confessionals as he is sharpening his pen to play topical folk singer.” , BUZZBANDS.LA

“I love this song.” NIC HARCOURT  88.5FM LOS ANGELES

“Four Stars… Power folk is here to stay: his name is Combs, James Combs...” PARIS MOVE

“timeless, finely crafted, tuneful songs. James Combs is a musical force of nature who injects every song with genuine joy.” PAUL ZOLLO, AMERICAN SONGWRITER and SONGWRITERS ON SONGWRITING

WINNER - BEST AMERICANA GROUP (GREAT WILLOW) LA MUSIC CRITIC AWARDS

(Great Willow’s collaborative single with I See Hawks In LA) “Radio Keeps Me On The Ground” is soothing nerve tonic for those unsettled by the viral plague currently re-writing human reality. With an irresistable melody and close harmonies, the song is a powerful dose of communal hippie optimism that couldn’t be more welcome during one fuck of a hellish bummer. MICHAEL SIMMONS,  MOJO, LA Weekly

“One of LA’s best songwriters” GARY CALAMAR, 88.5FM LOS ANGELES

One of folk pop’s best kept secrets - LA WEEKLY

“8.1 RATING.  Fierce sensitivity…an urgent Roky Erickson vocal style… the certainty and confidence of an artist who’s grasped more than just three chords and a crude approximation of the truth. PITCHFORK
