Do you ever wonder how rock stars do it? How do they keep their youthful looks? It always amazes me. Paul McCartney still looks like he's 30 and Steven Tyler still looks like he did in the '70s.

Colin James is one of those rock stars. As soon as he arrived for his Up Close session I was struck by his youthful appearance. Not sure how old Colin is and I didn't ask but I do know that he looks the same as he did 20 some years ago in the video for "Just Came Back."

Perhaps Colin gave his soul in return for eternal youth and fame at the crossroads or maybe there is a rock star fountain-of-youth that only a select few have access to. Either way Colin James is a lucky guy.

For this Up Close session we have Colin James and his band performing all new songs from his latest CD, Fifteen. From all accounts this new CD is a return to Colin's rock andblues roots. It features some stellar songs in the classic rock vein as well as some classic Colin James blues.

Enjoy!
