Jamie N Commons is hailed as a modern day blues man and is responsible for showcasing blues in truly own way.<\/p>\n

The British born Singer \/ Songwriter spent the majority of his childhood growing up in Chicago, and took part in the BBC Music Poll a few years ago. His progressive sound and mature and coarse, gravely vocals have previously caught the attention of collaborators Eminem and Jay -Z, who appears on the latest track ‘Jungle’ which also features X Ambassadors and is currently riding high in the UK charts. We caught up with Jamie to talk time-out, touring and Marshall Mathers.<\/p>\n

It seems like you’ve been away for a lengthy amount of time- what have you been up too?<\/b><\/p>\n

Tinkering away in the factory, you know same old, same old. \u00a0To get from point A to Point B you\u2019ve got to go around the houses sometimes. \u00a0Oh and I moved to LA.<\/p>\n

Tell us more about the ‘X Ambassadors’ track featuring Jay Z – How did that collaboration happen?<\/b><\/p>\n

Well we had the song on the Beats By Dre headphones advert and it came about through that I guess. \u00a0I\u2019m glad it came\u00a0together though, I really like\u00a0Jay\u2019s verse on it.<\/p>\n

You’ve collaborated and worked with some of the most credible and iconic musicians of our time – who else would you love to work with?<\/b><\/p>\n

Derek Trucks, Dan Auerbach, Dolly Parton,\u00a0Ralph Stanley, DangerMouse, Q-Tip, Rosanne Cash, The Boss, Dr John, The Dust Brothers (are they still going??), Father John Misty, Kenny Rodgers, Joe Cocker, Huey Lewis, Gillian Welch, Ryan Adams, ?uestlove, Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

What else is happening for you for the remainder of the year?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Just finishing up the album, filming a\u00a0documentary for Vice and Budweiser, then heading out \u00a0on an east coast US tour with X Ambassadors starting September 30th, get ya tickets now!!!<\/p>\n
