MUMBAI: The politically- and socially-charged new single from Natasha James, “My Country Has The Blues,” (Highway One Records), released to national and international radio to coincide with Independence Day, became the #1 Most Added Single to Radio shortly after its July 1 release.
Adding to her already high profile in the Country/Americana world, Music New Nashville profiled James in a Cover Story (“Natasha James – An American Troubadour”) this past June. At the same time, James’ critically-acclaimed, award-winning 2009 album, “Tequila Time” has been at #1 on the respected Roots Music Report Roots Country Internet Chart for almost four months!

In “My Country Has the Blues,” James once again shows us she has her finger on the pulse of the human condition, with lyrics as insightful as they are timely and universal, and married to an infectious musical track guaranteed to have you singing along, with the words running in your head long after the song has ended.
