Ags Connolly – Your Pal Slim: Songs of James Hand

James released the first of six albums in 1997, in a career where Willie Nelson called him “the real deal” and Kris Kristofferson described his songs as “soul music”. When James died in June 2020 at the age of 67, and the dust from the rolling of the hearse finally settled, Ags Connolly knew he wanted to pay tribute in earnest to his hero.
