Biography
"Rules of the Road is long on substance, and short on pretension. Tobin James has a gritty and soulful voice... This is an album which benefits from repeated playing, where the phrasing and emotion in his voice becomes more and more appealing. The songs have that authentic and timeless Blues sensibility!"
Blues Matters! Magazine
Tobin James cut his teeth not on traditional Blues, but on the incendiary Blues/Rock sound of such legendary bands as Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple. It wasn’t until attending the prestigious University of North Texas in the late 1980s that the future frontman of the Dallas bands Code Blue and Jaded Soul connected with the music of the great African-American Bluesmen who started it all, and sent him down his musical path firing on all cylinders. Today, all of those influences can be heard loud and clear in the powerful, full-throttle Blues and Blues/Rock of the Dallas native, Tobin James!

Excellent stuff. I love the chord change on the turn-around. Great vocals, classic guitar riffs blend really nice into tune. Really like it.

'Blue Sky Lighning' is a very cool blues, nifty good arrangement , especially with the mix of guitar with organ. DYNAMIC vocals. Cheers.
