I've been a fan of Jeremy since he was playing live around Seattle's Famous Pioneer Square area with Band Name Hollow. He's an amazing storyteller and singer that manages to weave poetry, blues, and emotion into him music.
This is a fabulous stripped down album. A man and his music. It's powerful and intense in parts, and playful and funny in others. Owen is an up and coming artist who is sure to blow-up in the coming year. He reminds me of a modern version of James Taylor
or Cat Stevens
with a little Van Morrison
blues to boot. This is really a fantastic album and Owen tells us that "when he's not brewing beer or dealing with his "Honey-Do list" he's hard at work on his next album. Looking forward to that!From the Album Notes:
This Long awaited solo album by Jeremy Owen features 9 previously unreleased songs. The raw blues of What kind of Woman drifts into the romance of Juliet & Romeo, hits hard with Devil for the Band and staggers into a Rum of Faith. This album also features a special tribute release of Seven Seas Cowboys for the artist’s late brother James A Owen (the true story of the sinking of the Majestic in the Bering sea). Hear the music the way it was written, performed straight up and delivered live.
