Limited digipack edition. Recorded and produced in Los Angeles with Tom Rockrock (Beck, Elliott Smith, Badly Drawn Boy) this album takes the listener through heartfelt songs of unattainable romances, lost loves and friend's failures before climaxing with James's first-hand experience of war. They're songs of universal appeal, all delivered with a powerfully unique vocal. In a world where division is rife and government intelligence (in both senses of the word) remains questionable, James's songs override and unite. James Blunt's life-story is nothing short of unique. His Army career saw him stationed in Kosovo as part of NATO's peacekeeping force. He then protected the Queen on horseback and the Queen Mother whilst she lay in state. He has, it can be said without exaggeration, lived a life that should provide enough material for a dozen albums. This is a definitively different singer-songwriter.

James Blunt is a former Royal Air Force soldier who saw active combat during the NATO mission in Kosovo, an experience detailed in his debut album's harrowing closer, "No Bravery." Judging from the rest of BACK TO BEDLAM, he's also in the market to become either a one-man Coldplay or a more commercially acceptable version of Elliott Smith. A collection of midtempo ballads based around Blunt's acoustic guitar and piano and his high, reedy voice, BACK TO BEDLAM is tailor made for a generation of sensitive college girls and their frat-boy boyfriends. Blunt shares Smith's knack for pretty mopery and self-destructive tendencies (several songs, most obviously the opening "High," tacitly romanticize drug use), as well as Coldplay's talent for decorating simple melodies with effective production tricks. Tracks like the UK smash "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover" are backhanded anti-love songs that suggest Elvis Costello's lyrical wit, and add a little bite to this otherwise radio-ready set of tunes.

Personnel: James Blunt (vocals, various instruments); Mike Tarantino (guitar); Mr. Nau (Wurlitzer piano); S. Krivstov (bass instrument); C. Paxton (drums).

CMJ (p.4) - "Blunt's writing is heartfelt and wrapped in the sort of sugary strums that make couples gaze at each other longingly."

5 stars Watch him go
I first heard "You're Beautiful" after I had been exploring todays' music scene. I had the same feeling listening to him as I did Elton John many years ago. He does not sound or perform like Sir John, but he affects me the same way. I really feel this man is on his way to a big career. After I got _Back to Bedlam_ on the basis of this one song, I was more than pleased that there were many more songs with the same feel and emotional grab. He needs more time to develop and become more comfortable in the spotlight. He hits a chord I wanted hitting. I encourage him to continue to grow. I will be following his work closely.
