James says Albarn is really good

Alex James tells Gigwise he thinks Damon Albarn does not get enough credit as a songwriter, and says his wife rated The Good, The Bad & The Queen.

Alex James is being a bit chatty at the moment, isn't he? Most recently, he was saying that he thinks he can get Graham Coxon to rejoin Blur for a final album. Now he's been saying that he thinks Damon Albarn doesn't get the credit he deserves. He told Gigwise: "I still don't think Damon gets the credit he deserves as a songwriter, or for creating amazing work year after year. I've not seen The Good, The Bad & The Queen play yet, but my wife saw them and said they were incredible. Damon always does stuff for the right reasons and you couldn't wish to work with a better songwriter."

I think he's probably right about Albarn's songwriting skills. I just think people are blinded by prejudice because they think he's a wanker. That's they. Not me. They.
