"Outback Country Vampire is one of the best rock/roots CD's out there. I saw them live in Boston and was hooked in an instant. The raw feelings come through so strongly in every song, you'll find yourself playing this CD over and over again. Unbelievable !!"

People will be listening to Jabe 50 years from now

"Those of you who thought alt-country died with the breakup of Uncle Tupelo were wrong, wrong, wrong. Rest assured that there's at least one disaffected pseudo-redneck still making mind-bending, heart-wrenching albums that sound like an unholy cross between Johnny Cash and The Clash. In the great tradition of Hank Williams, Outback Country Vampires will inspire you to question the meaning of life and dump your girlfriend so you can hang out full-time in some back-roads bar and be comforted by a flickering neon Budweiser sign. Jabe's album rocks, and the lyrics are as top-notch as one would expect from a guy who won both the Boston Music Awards "Outstanding Debut Album" and The Abe Olman Songwriting Award honors in 2000. Standout tracks? All of `em. For pain, longing, misery, and redemption, it just doesn't get any better."

"I first saw this group in a tiny local bar with about forty patrons. I was so blown away by their sound and performance that I have sought out their gigs ever since. If you have any inclination towards inspired funky rockin country, this album is for you. The musicanship is fabulous and the singer along with his lyrics will keep you listening over and over again."
