His Grammy nominations include Jamey Johnson's "The High Cost of Living", country song of the year, and Martina McBride's “In My Daughter’s Eyes”, which has become a modern day standard. 2020 brings Keith Urban’s new single, "God Whispered Your Name", Shy Carter's debut Warner Brothers release "Good Love", as well as two songs ("Wasted" and "Guys Named Captain") on Kenny Chesney's latest number one album "Here and Now". James' latest solo album is “Mexicoma”, which features 15 new songs including the raucous Mexicoma which Tim McGraw recorded. The album also includes “Key West Address", a love letter to the island, so much so that the mayor of Key West has awarded James the "keys to the city" and proclaimed the song as the island's official theme.
