• This album from Jake and the Family Jewels, the pride of Now York's West Village and tho music keeps on rollin', bringing with it good times, rippling rhythms and tunes that make you wanna dance. Jake has gotten his new band together and he's been produced by Ed Freeman, who produced Don McLean's album American Pic, whence came the incredible million-selling single of tho same name. Now, we're not claiming that lightning can atrike twice, but on the other hand, why the hell not?
• Jake and the Jewels come through with a brand of rock that has one foot in the street (dig the breath-bass ol one of the background singers) and the othor foot planted in the soil of country. So what comer, up ia bright muaic that is tight, yot cusuol. Music that makes you want to laugh out loud, music that's as clear as a sunny country morning. Jake and the Family Jewels. Back with the tenderly-tilled The Big Moose Cells His Baby Sweet Lorraine. Well, all right.
