After two years from the release of the critically acclaimed album, MIGHTY LONESOME MAN, Slim Hand Music is proud to announce the newest gospel-inspired album release from James Hand, titled STORMCLOUDS IN HEAVEN.
STORMCLOUDS IN HEAVEN, is a 14 song album of all originals gospel tunes, written by James, and is the culmination of heart-felt songs about praise, devotion, emotion and patriotism. Dedicated to long time guitarist Will Indian, this album was surely a work inspired from above.
Recorded in Austin, TX, and produced by long-time manager, Deb Perry, this album has truly been an endeavor pulled off by a handful of James' devoted friends and musicians. James Hand continues to please audiences in this new release with the help of local Austin notables like Cindy Cashdollar on steel/dobro, Floyd Domino and Earl Poole Ball on the ivories, Jason Roberts and Beth Chrisman on some Texas twin fiddles, Kevin Smith on stand-up bass, Speedy Sparks on electric bass, John McGlothlin, and Lisa Pankratz on drums, and Brennen Leigh on her amazing mandolin. Adding a new player, Jerry Mack Cook on lead guitar, brought this album together with a great country/bluegrass sound that emulates James' great style of music.
