Shivers!

"Granted, this disc is not his best work, but still better than lots of recording artists, and you'll want this CD in your collection for the technical beauty of the playing and as a record of the artist's early career. Yes, you can expect a whole lot more from Jacobs-Strain down the road. Watch for his live concert collection, Longest Road I Know. I just saw him at a festival and can testify, he was brilliant solo and shined alongside more seasoned players. His covers are fresh, masterful and authoritative. And his original tunes are knockouts, combining the emotional truth of his playing with that uncanny, knowing voice and with subject matter deep beyond expectation. Want blues that send shivers along your spine? Let's hope this man expands and records his original repertoire, and, yes, buy yourself this disc as a taste of good things to come."

An Amazing Talent

"Caught David at the Sisters Folk Festival (Sisters, Oregon) and was captivated by his skill on the guitar, voice, and stage presence. This CD was cut when he was 15, he is 18 now, and even better. Look for him to be a force in blues.Has a new CD out based upon his live performance. (Longest Road I Know). Look for it. Better than his first."
