Single Review
There’s less than a month to go before one of Nashville’s hottest emerging blues-rock guitar slingers drops her latest album, ‘Only the Wild Ones’, so Jax Hollow will need to get her ass off of the cruise ship she’s been on for the last couple of months and get ready for some live dates with her equally talented shipmates as Jax Hollow & The Coterie.
In the meantime, Jax has been posting some very interesting official videos showing off different aspects of her personality and musical style. ‘Wolf in Sheepskin’ is one of these and it’s a slow-burning atmospheric number showcasing an astonishingly good guitar tone, coupled with intriguing lyrics around infidelity, benders and waking up with a gun. There is something of a laid-back and sultry Sheryl Crow vibe to the vocal but it builds up to a Janis Joplin style furious howl.
The video is well worth a watch; it’s quirky and fun and it looks like Jax might have scalped Fozzy Bear to make her impressive head gear. Elsewhere on You Tube, you can also hear her cut loose on the guitar on ‘Ethereal Emerald’ and enjoy great song-writing on the introvert love song ‘Wallflower Girl in Bloom’; both of which will be on the album.
There is definitely a buzz building around Jax leading up to the album launch so now is a good time to get onboard in preparation.
