It is with great excitement that
Big America Records
proudly announces the release of
"El Corazon Negro", The Black Heart!!


Long time East Coast Rocker, James Deely, returns to the Rock Scene with the spanking new, cool rocking, country flavored sounds of "El Corazon Negro".
The compact disc contains twelve new songs about bad love, hard luck, repeated visits to the county jail and too many Taquilla soaked sunsets. The tracks were recorded by Bill Krodell at Media Kitchen in Los Angeles and mastered in Philadelphia at Masterworks.
Ringing guitars combine with thundering drums to produce an exciting new sound that constantly pays homage to yesterday's heroes. Passionate vocals move easily from upbeat rockers like "Travel Light", to the slower country blues of "Real Good Reason". The Runaway Rock-A-Billy Elvis tribute, "Running Back'56" gives way to the soulful country ballad "Soul Desire".
Upon hearing a an advance copy of "The Black Heart", Bob Makin of Backstreets Magazine wrote,
" a cross between Surf Rock and Country Twang, Deely can keep the friends he make in both Asbury Park, and NashVegas happy with this one. But the Jukes inspired "Jersey Soul" lets folks know where his heart will always be even if his feet aren't there. Deely's voice, which sounds more like Elvis than Bruce these days, is the best it's ever been".

"Set the Night On Fire"
This is the C.D. that put James Deely and The Valiants on the musical map.
It features excellent sound quality,(24 Track Masters), and was recorded at Tom Elliot and Garry (E-Street Bass Man) Tallent's Shore Fire Recording Studios in Long Branch, N.J. The disc features guest rockers, Kevin Kavenaugh of Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, Eric "Rosco" Ambel of Del Lord fame and legendary shore rocker, Lance Larsen. Jay Lustig said in the East Coast Rocker, "Deely sings on "Let Me Know" of heading out on the open highway, in a chorus that is more reminiscent of 70's Springsteen than anything on "Tunnel of Love".


"Custom Made"
This is the rare follow-up to "Set the Night On Fire".
"Custom Made" features some of the most adventures song writing Deely has ever done. From the straight up rockers like "Too Far Gone", to the twisted "Chasing Demons", this one rocks from start to finish!! The tracks were recorded in some guys basement in Long Branch with special thanks to the Springdale Bar for production assistance.
Bob Makin said in one article, "He sounds like the Replacements meet the Cure during a roadhouse session with Jerry Lee Lewis. Ragged yet layered, filled with raw garage and roots rock yet also moody swirling guitars and keyboards, "Custom Made", is the most original and exciting thing Deely has ever done".
Recently remastered in 2003, "Custom Made", is now available on
Compact Disc.


"Beyond the Beaches"

This is the very first release from "James Deely and The Valiants".
While playing every backyard and bar in Long Beach Island that would have them, J.D. and the boys headed up the Parkway and recorded this collection.
Once again the sessions took place at Shore Fire Studios. Recently re-mastered from the limited edition "For Radio Stations Only" vinyl, it features the Big Hitz, "Tonight", "So Square"(By Elvis),
and "A Dozen Roses".
