Monster player but how does this not sound EXACTLY like ZZ Top's La Grange?? Right down to the solo licks. Here we have Sam Smith losing a suit for ripping off Tom Petty? How does this happen I wonder.... brutal, this is a rip.

ZZ Top La Grange even de solos, but I like it

I had the chance to meet Colin James when he played in PEI. He was really sick, but still found the time to sit with me and chat about SRV for an hour after the show. He signed my old Fender Strat for me... he's the real deal this guy! His blues roots go way, way back... so perhaps if you looked hard enough, you will probably find that this riff goes way back before all our time! Great tune, great guitar player, and great vocalist / songwriter! I say Keep up the great work Colin!

I found this interview with Norman Greenbaum. (he wrote Spirit in the sky...) remember that tune? Question: I’ve got to ask, I always wondered about the similarities of ZZ Top’s, “La Grange” guitar riff compared to, “Spirit In The Sky.” Do you think that was just a coincidence? Norman:“... I think we all just ripped off the old guys from the 1920’s who laid down this beat. If you go back and listen to all the black music from the 20’s you’ll probably recognize all of rock and roll.

Boring! Looks like a n00b who can't appreciate a great artist.

@Drewish2727 whos to say that La Grange isnt a rip off of Colin James. Colin James writes better music either way :)

@TheTrillkott You guys must be kidding... like Clapton, SRV or Hendrix didn't borrow riffs from JL Hooker, Robert Johnson, BB King or other bluesmen. This is actually a tribute to ZZ Top, not a rip off. I guess if you actually knew something we'd be buying your albums instead of his. Check out the breadth of music he's put out over his career and who he's played with. You don't get invited to play with the guys he's played with unless you're the real deal.

@Drewish2727 everyone(ZZTOP) stole it from john lee hooker, its the blues you pass it along...zz top are the greatest but the blues has a longer history

HOLY MACKERAL

Ya, and ZZ TOP invented it. ok. They probably invented blues too. OK.

It may not be the most original riff...at this point, but Colin makes the song his.....his voice is so clean and crisp.... Always have loved him. I saw him live and he's just as good live. I saw him in 1995 in Cleveland in a tiny bar but it was personal and rockin.

Love it, great song Colin. Been following him so long, saw him got a guitar from Stevie Ray Vaughn from Terry David Mulligan on Much Music so many years ago. It was an award, sorry can't remember which one.
