James Lee Baker Biography
Birthed from the dusty high plains of the bible belt, wordsmith James Lee Baker sources the essence of his craft from a small-town past and the journey on the road of self-discovery and the way out. Laced with the essence of mysticism, his emotive and thought-provoking songs speak to the shared, tender heart of our human condition.
In 2020, he released "100 Summers" – a full-length LP of songs centered around a theme of change. The title track reached #1 on the FAI Folk charts that month and went on to garner nearly half a million streams across platforms. Two of the songs on the project – "Returning to Paris" and "The Last Cowboy in Hutchinson County" – were selected for several nationally-known songwriting contests.
He returned to the sessions recorded at Blue Rock Studios under the wing of Chris Bell and Roscoe Beck and recorded a few covers to round out a second cover project called Impressions, which was released in 2022. The single "Did Galileo Pray?", a cover of Ellis Paul, charted #10. John Apice from Americana Highways said "Baker’s cover of Bob Dylan’s 'Just Like a Woman' is one of the finest I ever heard. He captures the lyric, understands it and possesses it as a first-class interpreter."
