The song is the third single from his award-nominated, critically acclaimed album, “Home Again.”
With the release of his current album, “Home Again,” James Lee Baker entered the folk/country music consciousness on a national and international level. His first single, “Cowtown Blues” reached the Top 15 contemporary folk airplay charts. The follow-up, “Disappear for the Weekend” raced into the iTunes Singer-Songwriter Songs sales charts, also receiving radio airplay charting. This success lead to Baker being included as an Emerging Artist in Billboard Magazine.
Building on that foundation, Baker is releasing his third single from the critically acclaimed “Home Again” collection. “The First Time” is being released to radio this week.
“The First Time’ is a song I wrote about youth and the fleeting, one-way nature of time,” says Baker. “It is the one-on-one conversation with my past self, where I try to explain the value of first-time experiences and the necessity for taking chances.”
