Description
"As one of the first groups to be dubbed 'the next Smiths,' James became an institution on the British alternative music scene of the '80s and '90s with their pleasant folk-pop. Early in their career, James were blessed by praise form their idol Morrissey, which turned out to be both a blessing and a curse. The group was pegged as second-rate Smiths, yet continued to tour and record, eventually gaining a sizable following. In the late '80s, the group, like many of their British peers, became involved in the acid house-inspired 'baggy' scene and recorded the baggy-inspired 'Sit Down,' which became their breakthrough hit."- allmusic.com
