Search - Paul Jacobsen :: You Might Regret You Ever Cared

The lines "We were doomed from the start" and "We all fall" bookend Paul Jacobsen's debut CD "You Might Regret You Ever Cared," giving the listener an overwiew of what takes place inside. If not terribly optimistic, Jacobsen's music - for all its ringing, lonely ache - may surprise you with its hopeful undercurrents. Though he shows a penchant for the sound of the lonesome whistle, he 's the first to concede that- at very least - the train is headed somewhere. He's also the first to admit that he's not all that sure exactly where that somewhere is. Maybe that somewhere isn't as important as the journey. Jacobsen's honest, stark songwriting along with his pure baritone and subtle guitar work evoke the graveyard folk of Nick Drake and the Americana yearning of Ryan Adams.
