James Intveld
YouTube Top Ten



Singer James Intveld is one of the coolest guys on the scene and as great as his CD's are, there aren't exactly hundreds of them. SO another way to get your fix is to watch him on YouTube. Here are a few highlights ...
Fame & Fortune

Taken from Elvis's Birthday Bash 08 at the Music Box Theater in Hollywood, this year was the 22nd event. The brainchild of Intveld and Ronnie Mack it's now run by Art Fein with help from the L.A. City Council. JI sizzles on this great cover of a much overlooked Elvis classic.

Wake Up Little Susie

A duet with Russell Scott from Art Fein's brilliant Rockabilly Bandstand. Filmed on March 13, 1989, the boys pay homage to the world's finest siblings.

Good Rockin' Tonight

From Art Fein's Poker Party in 1987, JI is joined by Billy Zoom and Brian Setzer. It's a driving acoustic version with Setzer and Intveld inspiring one another. Poor old Billy Zoom gets tongue tied when called for the first solo, although he gets to redeem himself later.

One Sweet Letter

A great version of Joe Liggings' One Sweet Letter from the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend. He looks cool in his jacket with plenty of hip shaking stage presense. This is what i imagine Billy Lee Riley must have been like in his heyday.

Stringin Me On

JI and his band perform Stringin Me On at the Saxon Pub in Austin, Texas during SXSW on March 14, 2007

Let's Get Started

Live at the Mercy Lounge, Nashville in November, 2007. Looking every inch the cowboy for the Nashville crowd, this is great country music in the best Intveld vein.

Perfect World

Again from the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, he comes across as the cool Elvis manersisms wityhout ever looking like one of them tosspot impersonators.

Country Hick

Ronny Mack and James Intveld duet at the Rockabilly Bandstand show, in March '89. James plays bass, but the real star of the show must be Ronny Mack's heair which looks like something from the Hair Bear Bunch dressing room. Good song, amazing hair.

Modern Don Juan

Again from the VLV weekender, James is tailor made for Buddy Holly and the laidback soft rock of West texas.
