Jump Back Jake

12:20 AM | Posted by Quirky NY Chick

Jump Back Jake has a new album out, their debut, Brooklyn Hustle/Memphis Muscle. Curious to hear what these guys were about, I gave it a couple of spins. It's a record filled with blue-eyed Southern style soul. At times, Jump Back Jake recalls Gregg Allman's more pop leaning forays, Arc Angels, Cowboy (remember them?) and even a bit of Johnny Rivers. Many of the songs are infused with dripping horns.

This is the song that caught my ear the most.

Other songs that caught my ear were "Pay Out On The Front End," "Easy Answers" and "Don't Wanna Go."
