John Batdorf and James Lee Stanley in concert

Between them John Batdorf and James Lee Stanley have recorded over 30 acoustic rock music albums. Then they came together and created a genuine masterpiece. The All Wood and Stones series (www.allwoodandstones.com) was their collaborative effort to take classic Rolling Stones songs and rearrange them through their own sensibilities of acoustic guitars and rich vocal harmonies, tempered through thirty years of making acoustic rock music.

The quality that sets John Batdorf apart from other excellent songwriters is his vulnerability that completely opens the door to his heart. John invites the listener into his soul as he sings of transforming despair into hope, hate into love, and fear and ignorance into tolerance and understanding. (www. johnbatdorfmusic.com)

It is only a long-lived singer-songwriter career that lets James Lee Stanley unite the unpredictable creativity and the eclectic elements that make up his world. His remarkable ability as a vocalist and composer allow him to create songs, each recorded with a finely crafted backing that sonically enhance the impulse behind the lyric, coupled with his outrageously hilarious repartee.
