SUSAN JAMES’ 2011 album “Highways, Ghosts, Hearts & Home” earned the praise of Ryan Adams, who tweeted about her “great songs” and killer band. For her new album “Driving Toward the Sun” Susan sought out the production skills of Ryan Ulyate (who has worked with giants like Tom Petty and George Harrison) to create a potent California-flavored hybrid of psychedelic country, folk and rock.
