"Hi Jim, Just started checking out some of your stuff. The Van Halen sounds great. Loved the wham bar. What setup did you use for that? Or your solo stuff? 5150-Marshall, steinberger? Keep it up, Glenn."

Review on James Limborg's music in general
By drpiano, 05/15/2000

"Wow... Your music seems to have an udercurrent of eclectic homogenization. Perhaps to the point of being totally original. What I'm saying here is so frequently, artists end up giving us music in which we think, at least on some level, that we have been there, done that. When done right, of course, such close following of formats makes for highly acceptable music. When done wrong, we scream, "...this is derivative." What you have here is something that does manage to touch a universal chord, is recognizable to our experiential patterns, and yet does not lend itself to be easily quantifiable. Thus, your music is both accessible, in that we feel we understand it, and yet totally new and different. I'll come right out and say it: The last time I was struck like this was a decade and a half ago, when I first heard a Malmsteen tape. I am startled that you are unsigned! How to improve? Just keep at it and allow your music to deepen with age, as the great artists do."

Review on song titled, How Come I Don't Have Anyone

"Very Clever, You obviously spent a great deal of time on this production and it shows!! Great arrangement and song construct. Great instrumentation and performed very tight. Boy Bands Beware!! The vocals are delivered sincerely and perfectly for this song. The writing is very tasteful if not a little corny... but that is exactly what this song needed... adolescent angst. Everything you wanted to get into the song is there I feel and you did a very good job of recording and getting all those ideas in and in place. Very enjoyable and fun song."

Review on song titled, How Come I Don't Have Anyone
By Harry Baggs, 03/05/2005

"Cabin Fever & Multi-FX, I usually try to avoid sappy, Rock ballads - especially if it's got an EVH/Mainstreem tag associated...but I liked James' inspiration for this song...so I figured I'd give it a shot. Boy - was I surprised. Not sappy at all, and the EVH signature was well behaved. Seems what we have here is an extremely talented (and experienced) multi-musician, with a great sense of production, arrangement, and fun under his belt. He probably "don't have anyone"...because he's snowbound in a MINN studio "creating" interesting listening experiences like this. HIDHA is pure ear candy and aural excitement. It's more than a song..it's a sound experience. It's like taking your ears to an amusement park. Never a dull moment. Excellent musicianship, clever construction, the perfect combination of words, and non-stop fun. His use of effects is brilliant and refreshing. This was a joy to listen to! Somehow, I can't picture anyone getting "emotional" listening to this. It's more like a celebration of "being alone" (LOL!). Great job Jim!"

Tennis serves as a sport and a source of entertainment for many fans, but for James Limborg it's a musical muse. The 34-year-old Roseville, Minnesota musician, a self-described "Eddie Van Halen-style rock guitarist" and a 3.5 rated tennis player, has written and recorded his tribute to tennis: "Red, White and Green."
