About James Booth & The Return

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I think the earliest musical memory I have was probably singing old Irish songs before bedtime with my dad and brother. At age five I learned songs like "Whiskey In The Jar" and "Four Green Fields" without having a clue what they were really about. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Jeff Buckley, Grace The Magnetic Fields, 69 Love Songs The Who, Tommy The first album I fell in love with was Tommy. It was like opening a lost treasure chest into a beautiful, terrifying world. Jeff Buckley as a singer showed me things I never dreamed possible, and Stephin Merritt's songwriting is what I aspire to. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl. If we can play those places at least once, even as part of something, that would be swell.
