Details:
âI donât think you duck something because itâs uncomfortable, especially when itâs the truth,â states guitarist, singer and songwriter Jack Pribek upon completion of his all-original debut solo CD, Trouble Ainât Over.

âI donât think any of these songs (mine or anybody elseâs)are very important in the grand scheme of things. But hopefully some people may hear it (the CD) and feel better. Maybe in that way, it may enrich somebodyâs life.â

A student and avid performer of the guitar for nearly 30 years, Pribek didnât start writing music (seriously at least) until five years ago. âI wasnât able to write, period, until I was able to be honest with myself, and I donât think I have been honest with myself until the last five years or so.â

The lyrical content may be serious, but itâs also playful (like âRule of Sevenâ) and witty (i.e. âSoul Searchinâ). The music may be ârooted in the blues,â but also smacks of jazz-funk and country-rock.

The production is impeccable, the musicianship superb. Pribekâs choice of guitar is the Fender Telecaster. Early on, he was impressed by the stylings of the two âRoysâ, Nicholls and Buchanan. His thoughts on Roy Buchanan âHe played a wide range of material, and made more noise than the rest of the guys â without using stomp boxes or gizmos.â

Trouble Ainât Over can be deciphered as a âlifeâ album that is inherently âspiritual.â Pribek insists: âThe only thing you can comment on with any authority is what youâve been through in life. But you canât get cocky about it. When you get to âwell, Iâve found it now,â then youâre about to get your ass kicked. Thatâs been my experience at least.â
