        <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&quot;&lt;em&gt;Rules of the Road&lt;/em&gt; is long on substance, and short on pretension. Tobin James has a gritty and soulful voice... This is an album which benefits from repeated playing, where the phrasing and emotion in his voice becomes more and more appealing. The songs have that authentic and timeless Blues sensibility!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;nav3&quot; href=&quot;http://www.bluesmatters.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blues Matters!&lt;/em&gt; Magazine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tobin James cut his teeth not on traditional Blues, but on the incendiary Blues/Rock sound of such legendary bands as Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple. It wasn&amp;rsquo;t until attending the University of North Texas in the late 1980s that the future frontman of the Dallas bands Code Blue and Jaded Soul connected with the music of all the great Bluesmen who started it all, and sent him down his musical path firing on all cylinders. Today, all of those influences can be heard loud and clear in the powerful, full-throttle Blues and Blues/Rock of the Dallas native, Tobin James!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCOGRAPHY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;508 Park Ave. (w/Code Blue) - 2002&lt;br /&gt;Jaded Soul (w/Jaded Soul, EP) - 2003&lt;br /&gt;Rules of the Road - 2008&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOUNDTRACKS&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Mad, Bad - The Movie ( July, 2008 ) - Lonely Dog Blues &lt;br /&gt;Destined For Glory (in production) - Blue Sky Lightning, Rules of the Road&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tobin James &amp;amp; Damaged Goods&lt;br /&gt;Rules of the Road&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tobin James - Guitar &amp;amp; Vocals&lt;br /&gt;Steve Cerutti - Lead Guitar&lt;br /&gt;Steve Scaff - Bass&lt;br /&gt;Dave Why - Drums&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also appearing:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robin &quot;Texas Slim&quot; Sullivan - Lead Guitar (Tracks 3, 4, 9, 10)&lt;br /&gt;John Solly - Keyboards (Tracks 2, 3, 4)&lt;br /&gt;Grant Darkk Sloan&amp;nbsp; - Keyboards (Tracks 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Backing Vocals:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa Castleberry&lt;br /&gt;Jay Taylor&lt;br /&gt;Darryl Yokochi&lt;br /&gt;Jilian Brown&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Produced by Tobin James and Jay Taylor&lt;br /&gt;Recorded at Taylor Sound - Dallas, Texas&lt;br /&gt;Mastered at DES Mastering - Dallas, Texas&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ffff00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ffff00;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Fresh on the heels of &amp;ldquo;Rules of the<br><br>
Road&amp;rdquo; being added to&amp;hellip; er, some kind of playlist on the Clear Channel network,<br><br>
&amp;ldquo;Blue Sky Lightning&amp;rdquo; has made the grade, as well!&amp;nbsp; This one is especially<br><br>
gratifying, because &amp;ldquo;Blue Sky Lightning&amp;rdquo; is the one that means the most to me.&amp;nbsp;<br><br>
Seriously, if I were to fall off a subway platform tomorrow, &amp;ldquo;Blue Sky&amp;rdquo; is the<br><br>
song I&amp;rsquo;d want to be remembered by.&amp;nbsp; Not that I think that&amp;rsquo;ll happen, I&amp;rsquo;m just<br><br>
sayin&amp;rsquo;&amp;hellip;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ffff00;"&gt;To recap, in the words of the good<br><br>
folks at Clear Channel:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: navy; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Your song has been<br><br>
added to NEW!, which exposes your music to more than 10 MILLION PEOPLE PER MONTH<br><br>
on nearly 500 radio station web sites across the country!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>

amount of broadcast airplay that &amp;ldquo;Blue Sky&amp;rdquo; gets is a direct function of the<br><br>
number of plays it gets on the website.&amp;nbsp; So, please&amp;hellip; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;por favor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;hellip; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;s'il vous plait&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;hellip; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;pass one<br><br>
of the following two links on to all of your friends, family, acquaintances and<br><br>
associates who enjoy good music, and ask them to do the<br><br>
same!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>

&lt;p&gt;Hey, thanks for the comments about the Clear Channel thing.&amp;nbsp; It's pretty cool, especially since I didn't know anyone was submitting the tune.&amp;nbsp; If you get a minute, would you mind forwarding the link on to people you know?&amp;nbsp; Maybe ask them to do the same?&amp;nbsp; It's...&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thefox.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=168305" title="http://www.thefox.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=168305"&gt;http://www.thefox.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=168305&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Some more clicks would definitely help the cause...&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thanks again,&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>

submitted &amp;ldquo;Rules of the Road&amp;rdquo; (i.e., the title cut of my CD) to the Clear<br><br>
Channel:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;They go on to supply this link: &lt;a href="http://www.thefox.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=168305" title="http://www.thefox.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=168305"&gt;http://www.thefox.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=168305&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I guess if you go on there and play the crap out of the<br><br>
song, that helps me get all the more exposure.&amp;nbsp; So&amp;hellip; please click on that link,<br><br>
and play the crap out of this song!&amp;nbsp; Then, forward it on to your friends, and<br><br>
have them play the crap out of it, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br><br>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: black; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;As always, thanks a million for your friendship and<br><br>
