5.0 out of 5 stars Folk Influence Suits Ingram Well, December 29, 1998

This review is from: Jack Ingram (Audio CD)

While difficult to view an artist's work in retrospect without using his subsequent work to compare, I have tried to accurately recall my initail impressions of "Jack Ingram", the album. I first met and heard Jack some Tuesday night too long ago at Adair's in Dallas TX. With the help of his acoustic guitar, a microphone, and a steel chair (in case he fell too far under the influence), he played his interpretations of himself specifically, and Texas music in general. "Jack Ingram", the album, is an extremely accurate example of this interpretation. It delivers a decidedly folk sound with a strong Texas twang. This album drips with the sincerity and experimentaion reserved only for independently released first albums. Expectedly, the eerie romanticism of a fretless bass and the intentional use of an out of tune piano have been excluded on follow-up albums. If you have to choose a Jack Ingram album (all are highly recommended), this self-titled CD is the root of all that has followed. "Jack Ingram" is a folkie, cheaply made masterpiece denotative of Texas music at its unadulterated creative pinnacle.

5.0 out of 5 stars authentic music, September 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jack Ingram (Audio CD)

For anyone into Texas influenced music (Jerry Jeff, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle) should look into any of Jack Ingram's albums. He has a pure, natural sound that both reminicent of those listed and all his own. And if you get a chance to see a live show, you will not be disappointed.

i go to camp longhorn (4th term), and each summer jack ingram plays a couple of songs for us at campfire. i think he is really good. usually i don't like country (i'm more into bon jovi and eve 6) but this guy is an exception. he has talent that surpasses that of any performer i have ever seen before. i recommend this because it's excellent.
