Details:
One day Jeff Laine became Jeff Laine. Iâm not talking about his birthday, or the day he got bar mitzvahâd or communioned, or when he lost his cherry or got his driverâs license. I came to know Jeff long after these events, when he was an interesting musician and a friend about town.. But he wasnât yet Jeff Laine. Some years passed. Weâd have drinks. Share a laugh. And then ⦠the thing happened. His voice centered, rasped in a subtle new way. It reached right down and grabbed. It became as original as a fingerprint, and there wasnât a contrived moment in his music. Mind you, he was always an interesting player, but now he was Jeff Laine. If you require a comparison, and I donât blame you if you do, Iâd say heâs the musical descendant of Johnny Cash, but this isnât Johnny Cash music. If you need more description, I add that his music has chunks of blues, rockân roll, folk, and the constant presence of a true balladeer. I could gild the lily and mention there are stories, mysteries, images, back breaking rhythms, and more in his new album. I wish that everyone everywhere find their true expression.
Jeff Laine has found his. Itâs right here in a...BLUES VEIN
