Whether solo or backed by a full band, he loses himself in his songs. James Blunt is an accomplished live performerĮverything that makes James such a special talent can be heard on Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions, his extraordinary live performance, recorded on tour in Ireland in December 2005. He's now a household name in the UK, and chasing time since the summer of 2004, all caught on this excellent album. Blunt deserves all the accolades bestowed upon him. There's none of your strutting or pop star antics, and so far, no stories of television sets being hurled out of hotel rooms. One thing he's achieved in a very short time, is winning over hearts and minds. Blunt’s background sets him apart from the rest – we all know he's taken up his guitar instead of an Army tank, though his new ammunition is proving to be equally powerful.
First two singles, High and Wisemen made little impact: then came the summer anthem – You're Beautiful, a song about a lifetime lived in a moment, it became the soundtrack of a turbulent year. Released in October 2004, it made its gradual rise up the charts by word of mouth. This live release is the follow up to the multi-million debut album, Back To Bedlam. This year double Brit 2006 winner (British Male Solo Artist & Pop Act) returns with Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions. Armed with guitar and piano, heart-wrenching songs and the sweetest voice heard on the airwaves since the classic singer-songwriter era of the Seventies, James Blunt (born James Hillier-Blount) rose from obscurity to become the biggest selling British artist of 2005.
