(PR) The 1996 debut album by James Hunter, whose current album People Gonna Talk has taught 21st century audiences the joys of early American soul music and rhythm & blues, will receive a U.S. release date August 29 on Hep Cat Records (through Hep Cat Distribution) � only 10 years late. The album was originally released on Ace Records in the U.K.

Believe What I Say will not disappoint those who find themselves under the spell of People Gonna Talk. Even back in �96, Hunter�s Sam Cooke- and Jackie Wilson-influenced vocals and the band�s fat horn-driven rhythm & blues nuances were keenly developed. The album contains nine Hunter originals, plus two Bobby �Blue� Bland songs (�Turn On Your Love Light� and �Ain�t Nothing You Can Do,� both with backing vocals from Van Morrison) and one by Ray Charles (�Hallelujah I Love Her So�).

In addition to the two vocals contributions from Morrison, Hunter was also joined by the late Doris Troy on his original song �Hear Me Calling.� Troy was best known for her own hit �Just One Look,� as well as her backing vocals on the Rolling Stones� �You Can�t Always Get What You Want,� plus her own singles on the Beatles� Apple Records.
