There are multiple artists by the name of James Morrison:

1) James Morrison (born James Morrison Catchpole in 1984) is a singer/songwriter from Rugby, Warwickshire, England. He says that his musical influences include Al Green, Otis Redding, Cat Stevens and the Kinks.

At 13 Morrison began to learn guitar when his uncle showed him how to play a blues riff. He started busking when he lived at Porth near Newquay, in Cornwall. After years of playing other musicians’ songs, he eventually started to write his own.

Polydor Productions took charge and signed him. He became the supporting artist for Corinne Bailey Rae on her tour supporting her debut album.

In 2006 he debuted with his single

You Give Me Something which became a hit single around Europe and Japan. It reached the #2 spot in Holland and the #5 spot in the UK. And James proves that he isn’t a one-hit-wonder - his debut album Undiscovered went straight to #1 in the UK and has sold more than 500,000 copies world wide.

The second single released from the album is “Wonderful World,” which has already been a top 10 hit in the UK reaching the #8 spot.

He is set to be the opening act, along with Nylon and Jesse McCartney, on chart topping girl band Joie’s forthcoming arena tour. He also performed at the 2006 V Festival. He was due to only play one of the smaller tents but, due to the amount of people wanting to get into the tent, he had a ten-minute set on the main stage before Hard-Fi came on (Hylands Park).

Could anyone send me some of his b-sides and unreleased songs? I used to have all of them but my HDD died. Specifically I'd like man in the mirror & burns like summer sun, although I know there are a few I'm forgetting. And I've bought his album and two of his singles, so it's not as if I'm trying to steal as much of his music as possible. If you can help me out, leave me a message - thanks!
