In fact she couldn&#8217;t figure out why she split up with him. Neither could I, but I wasn&#8217;t complaining. Later she mentioned the conversation might make a good song so I wrote it. The tv game show line: &#8220;Look what you could have won&#8221; \u00a0was supplied free of charge by our friend Geoff Woods.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The album <em>Nick Of Time <\/em>was recorded at Daptone&#8217;s Penrose Studio in Riverside California under the watchful eye of Daptone co-founder Bosco Mann and is steeped in an era when soul records were driven by earth-shattering vocal performances. James Hunter hands down ushers classic soul music into the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century with a sense of timelessness that\u2019s rare these days.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3429\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Nick-Of-Time-Cover.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Nick-Of-Time-Cover.png 475w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Nick-Of-Time-Cover-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Nick-Of-Time-Cover-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Nick-Of-Time-Cover-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Nick-Of-Time-Cover-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Nick-Of-Time-Cover-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nick Of Time is released worldwide through Daptone Records on the 6th March 2020 and can be pre-ordered <a href=\"https:\/\/shopdaptonerecords.com\/collections\/the-james-hunter-six\/products\/pre-order-the-james-hunter-six-nick-of-time?variant=31436138086474\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE JAMES HUNTER SIX \u2013 EUROPEAN 2020 TOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, May 6 &#8211;
