[5][6][7]Maddock, though English, is largely associated with the Americana music style and has performed with Bruce Springsteen.

[8][9] Maddock's most recent albums, Sunrise on Avenue C, Jimmy & Immy Live at Rockwood Music Hall (with David Immerglück), Wake Up and Dream, James Maddock: Live At Rockwood Music Hall, and Another Life were released by the independent record label Casa Del Fuego.

[10] Another Life has been featured in both American Songwriter magazine and CMT Edge, which calls it "an album that finds [Maddock] crooning an old-school folk ballad one minute and rasping his way through a rusty-edged pop tune the next".
