Jared James Nichols, Black Magic. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is no mystery, no sleight of hand or conjuring trick visible, intended or perceived when you listen to Jared James Nichols perform. The appeal, the dedication and the captivating are all too real, all too genuine to be anything but truth wrapped up in fingers that play with the authority of the Blues Masters of old and the mind that won’t stop playing with notes and lyrics; if it must be seen as magic, then it must be dark, that ol’ Black Magic which even Faustus would shy away from.
