With his 2017 album Strip It Down, Casey James made the blues project he’d always envisioned.  Now with the 2020 follow-up, If You Don’t Know By Now, James digs in deeper on the genre, exploring its range while setting himself apart as an inspired, melodic guitarist and as an expressive, soulful vocalist. It’s a stark commitment to a musical form lodged firmly in his soul. The songs often stretch 5-8 minutes, giving him plenty of space to explore the full character of his guitar skills in tandem with such disparate sounds as the Chicago blues bar anthem “Don’t Break A Heart,” the Latimore-like R&B ballad “Wish Me Luck” and the Marley-tipped “Be Mine.”
James attacked If You Don’t Know By Now with a new level of confidence, thanks in part to his affirming experience with Strip It Down. He had come to national attention as a contestant on American Idol, using his fierce instrumental skills, emotional tenor and musician-next-door approachability to land high among the finalists. The show brought him a recording contract – a major-label country deal, of all things – and he took the offer, though the tight creative limitations on commercial country overlapped only partially with the music at the center of his soul.
