This side-project by Brent Orndorff was released under the pseudonym James Orn. The song "Freak Out" was co-produced with Dustin Richardson [drummer and co-producer of The Blue News]. The music was partially recorded at House of Blues studios (now Universal Music Group studios) in Nashville, TN and additional recording and mixing was done at Brent's home studio in Indiana.
James The Lesser is a side-project featuring the members of The Blue News. The 3-song EP titled "Wolf Spirit" features a different approach in songwriting, and the songs lean more into Pop and Soul, rather than the Blues or Rock style.
