The first week sales of Sunset man came in this week and I am (and so is much of the music industry) STUNNED to say the least! Almost 58000 records were sold last week and we were the number 2 Album in Country music and the number 3 Album all genres which is completely unbelievable! We were only 1200 albums shy of beating George Strait. I'm so Honored that yall spent your hard earned money to buy my Album. I've said it before and I'll say it again you guys are making my dreams come true. You'll never know how much this means to me. I hope you love the record and I hope to see you all out on tour in the coming months.
I played my first show of the season with Lynyrd Skynyrd tonight in Springfield Il. and had a blast. The crowd response was awesome and my band has really come together. We know we have to step up our game since we're playing with the big boys these days, so we've been working really hard to put together an energetic rocking show. The Rowdy Friends Tour kicks off soon and we need to be full .. to rock.
Anyhow thank yall again for everything and I'm looking forward to meeting every one of you guys out on the road. I've been going out to sign Ottographs after every show. So if ya wanna meet me come out to one of my shows and let's have us a damn good time!

Love Yall,
James Otto.

Your Sunset Man Cd is awesome. I have three fav songs on there and I listen to them all the time. I went the day the cd came out to purchase it and managed to get the last copy that our local wal-mart had in the store. I love the album. Keep up the wonderful work.

Ohhh, ottographs. I hadn't thought of that one yet. I'll add that one to my list haha. It was GREAT meeting you in Minneapolis at the Cabooze on Thursday. Not that I 'spect ya to remember me with that huge line waiting on ottopilot. Let's just say I wasn't one of the ones asking about your chest hair. I was the one next in line who grew up where your grandma lives. I figured out tho that I could have never met you. I was 12 when you were born. So unless I babysat you (ha) we never crossed paths up there in North Dakota.

Hi James. It's no surprise to me that your first week album sales were so great. The album is fantastic! My only regret is that your first album didn't do as well. I love that album as much as I love this one.


I think having a video that got lots of airplay on both GAC and CMT is what made the biggest difference this time (not to mention much better promotion by your new label).


We'll be seeing you on June 6th at the FedEx Forum in Memphis during our Fan Fair trip. We won't be able to see you in Nashville on Sunday night, 6/8, since we're flying back to New York that day. I'm hoping that you'll have some type of fan club party or event that week, though.


Wishing you the very best! I can't wait for "JGSLY" to go to Number One!

James, I REALLY LOVE your songs! I checked the tour list and there is nothing in Michigan...
If this changes let everyone (me) know and I will be there! As a LONG time Garth fan this new song (just got started loving you) has just passed his new one in my book! WAY TO GO!
GREAT JOB to all in your outfit, I know it takes more than one to put together such a great cd!

I was so excited when I saw that Sunset Man was number 2 -- number 1 would have been better but number 2 is awesome!! You have been working so hard to make your dreams come true and you deserve it! I've been reading posts from a lot of people that have seen your show and say how excellent it is...can't wait to see you July 19th in Gypsum, Colorado (driving 9 hours!). Really hope I will get to meet you and get pictures and Ottographs.
There are amazing things to come in your future and you will be at number 1 soon! Amy -- 1 fan from South Dakota

James, no surprise here. I knew you would have your day long ago. I still cart my old HP CDR copy of Misspent Youth around and it was very evident then (2002) and even long before you have something special. When I look at my copy of Sunset Man I can see the blood, sweat and tears leaking through the plastic casing. Congrats on your hard earned success, enjoy every second of it. You deserve it.

James, I have a question for you after just now looking at your message again right here if you don't mind me asking you that is. Why is much of the music industry stunned about you doing so well??? If you were being doubted, to me, them who doubted you need to be given a Q-tip and a swift kick in the..........never mind. You get what I am trying to say here.
(smiles)

Don't let those who may look down on you get to you, after all, how can anyone look down on you when you stand at 6 feet and 5 inches? You already have almost a whole foot on this girl right here! I stand at 5 feet and 6 inches.
(smiles)

Anyways, I so look forward to the day that I get to see you here in East Tennessee whenever that may be! Its all up to our Lord. I pray so hard that the Lord blesses me with the opportunity of getting to meet you so that I can do what I oh so can not wait to do and that is give you a big hug, I love you so much!!! I also pray so hard that the Lord is always looking after you and Amy Katherine for me.
(smiles)

God bless you and her always!!!

Holly in East Tennessee
