CD Reviews

Better than Caged Bird

Dan Olson | Vancouver, BC CANADA | 05/22/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This self-titled album far outdoes Caged Bird. Though two songs (Ithaca and Nevermind) reappear on this his second album, the 10 new tracks are sweet. Not only does Jake once again showcase his prodigious vocal and instrumental gifts, but this album is a much more richly textured and complex array of musical styles. Though songs like "Destiny's Flight" and "Peace of Mind" are vintage Jake, more impressive are his more off-beat songs: the jazzy and syncopated "Adonai" is a great song, the classic country style of "Little Boy Blue," the upbeat bluegrass sound of "Too Many People"...My only criticism may be the melancholic mood of nearly the enitre disc. Many of the songs deal with loneliness, lost love, or angst of some sort. Lyrically and poetically, however, the songs are rich and thoughtful despite being somewhat depressing. Jake's honesty must be commended, though, and much insight can be mined from this labyrinthine array of human experience...Get yourself a copy. I assume we'll be hearing more about Jake Armerding in the future..."

Fantastic Folk/Newgrass

Sharon Karlsberg | San Francisco, CA | 08/06/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard Jake Armerding at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, where I was blown away by his musical prowess (mandolin, guitar, fiddle, vocals) and his songwriting abilities. This self-titled studio album delivers on the promise of Jake's live performance.

Although melandcholy at times, the upbeat feel of "Destiny's Flight," "Peace of Mind," and "Little Boy Blue" provide great balance to more somber songs like "Adonai" and "The Ballad of Sorrow and Joy." If you like Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss and other folk/bluegrass faves, pick up a copy of this Jake Armerding album."

Brilliant

"This album combines some of Jake's older compositions with his new forming a brilliant compilation of enjoyable newgrass music"
