Jamie Cullum Catching Tales Views

General Goods

Cullum's third major label album, also produced by Stewart Levine, entitled Catching Tales, was released on 26 September 2005, in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and two weeks later in the United States, on 11 October. The American and French versions of Catching Tales do not include the track Fascinating Rhythm , which appears on the European version. The first single released from the album, in the United Kingdom, was Get Your Way , a collaboration with Dan The Automator which used a sample from the Thad Jones song Get Out Of My Life, Woman . The second single released, in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, was Mind Trick , written by Cullum and his brother Ben. The third single from the album was the self-penned track Photograph , which Cullum said was written on New Years Day 2005 after he found a box of old photographs at his parents house.

A special edition version of Catching Tales was released in Europe, featuring a 20-minute documentary, including behind the scenes footage of Jamie recording the album and on the road footage, from across Europe. Catching Tales has also been released on double vinyl, as was the first single, Get Your Way . A limited edition version of the Get Your Way single was released on red vinyl.

Cullum collaborated with Pharrell Williams. They recorded various songs together and it was thought that the track titled Wifey would make an appearance on Catching Tales, but this was prevented by legal and contractual problems. Cullum's vocals finally featured on Pharrell's debut solo album, on a track titled You Can Do It Too , though Cullum is not credited as a featured artist.

JAMIE RULES!I never heard of him before in my life (yes, I lead a sheltered one!), but a friend brought me Catching Tales today, and all I can say is Jamie Cullum's version of Our Day Will Come (that old standard chestnut,) is one of the BEST music reworks I've ever heard! Jamie is AWESOME! Other songs are EXCELLENT, including I Only Have Eyes For You and 7 Days To Change Your Life, , but am listening to Day over, and over, and over again! I am SO glad I've got it! Now YOU GOTTA HAVE THIS CD too (just for that song ALONE!) Nice goin' Jamie!!! You RULE!!!Submitted by Buzz (Sarasota, FLA)Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
