Better later than never, I’ve just discovered this songwriter from California : Jake Newton. He released this last May, a collection of six original tracks : ‘I’m a Bird‘.
According to J.T. Hogan – The Barn : He’s already been called the most honest voice in new music. Jake Newton comes to LA with a voice so clear it makes the girlies swoon, and a words that aren’t afraid to make them think.
After listening his EP couple times, we have to confirm : Newton multi-instrumentalist (mandolins, banjoes, electric guitars and concertinas) is using his voice as a great and sweet instrument performing some amazing variations. These bittersweet love songs are really well crafted and deserves more than a single try :
With Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Iron and Wine and Tom Waits as influences, he found a unique balance between folk and rock that could remind Andy Whittle. This short collection are impressively well produced for a first try !
Let’s hope Jake will be shortly back with an equivalent full length ! The EP is available through Cdbaby and iTunes.
