For his first new album in five years, ‘Minute By Minute,’ British soul man James Hunter teamed with Daptone mastermind Gabriel Roth (Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones) for a horn-fueled blast of deep soul and R&B. The album’s 12 new original songs mark not only Hunter’s first collaboration with Roth (aka Bosco Mann), but his first time recording in 5 years.
