Timeline

<p>"<em>Rules of the Road</em> 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!" <br /><br /> <a class="nav3" href="http://www.bluesmatters.com/" target="_blank"><em>Blues Matters!</em> Magazine</a></p><p>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&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!</p><p><strong>DISCOGRAPHY<br /></strong>508 Park Ave. (w/Code Blue) - 2002<br />Jaded Soul (w/Jaded Soul, EP) - 2003<br />Rules of the Road - 2008</p><p><strong>SOUNDTRACKS</strong> <br />Mad, Bad - The Movie ( July, 2008 ) - Lonely Dog Blues <br />Destined For Glory (in production) - Blue Sky Lightning, Rules of the Road</p><p><strong>Tobin James &amp; Damaged Goods<br />Rules of the Road</strong></p><p>Tobin James - Guitar &amp; Vocals<br />Steve Cerutti - Lead Guitar<br />Steve Scaff - Bass<br />Dave Why - Drums</p><p><strong>Also appearing:</strong><br />Robin "Texas Slim" Sullivan - Lead Guitar (Tracks 3, 4, 9, 10)<br />John Solly - Keyboards (Tracks 2, 3, 4)<br />Grant Darkk Sloan&nbsp; - Keyboards (Tracks 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10)<br /><br /><strong>Backing Vocals:</strong><br />Lisa Castleberry<br />Jay Taylor<br />Darryl Yokochi<br />Jilian Brown</p><p>Produced by Tobin James and Jay Taylor<br />Recorded at Taylor Sound - Dallas, Texas<br />Mastered at DES Mastering - Dallas, Texas</p>
