2.0 out of 5 stars Rocking blues ..., January 14, 2003

... but not at its best. Writing his own songs sure is a good thing, but I miss a little bit more originality while Jake plays guitar. The tone is okay - nicely distorted strat - but his solos are lacking emotion, the same goes for his voice. I like him better than many other young guns, but there is a way to go for the quality of - let's say Joe Bonamassa.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Sophomore Release!, April 3, 2002

It's easy to dismiss Jake Andrews as just another SRV impersonator from Texas. In fact, Jake's first release, "Time To Burn" was so under promoted and unappreciated that he found himself looking for a second label for this second release. However, one listen to this CD and the listener soon discovers that this is an individual with an abundance of talent in his guitar playing as well as his vocals and song writing ability. The CD itself has a heavy, ZZ Top meets SRV quality more in the vein of Gov't Mule than a Kenny Wayne Shepherd or an Eric Johnson. Check out "Better Start Now" and "Prince Of The World" to get an idea of what this disc is truly about. The tone on the first track sounds a little muddy and may not be to everyone's liking however, after that, it's rockin' blues nirvana. No signs of a sophomore slump here.

This review is from: Jake Andrews (Audio CD)

ANDREWS first CD showed promise and his very original voice was a bonus. While the songs were OK, the guitar playing was very good. On this release his voice starts grating on you from track one ( think a wheezy DOYLE BRAMHALL singing off key ) and it doesn't get any better. He has nothing to say and the guitar playing is without any fire or originality. The production is muddy and doesn't help either. All the songs are superfluous attacks on most BLUES cliches without adding a thing. The lyrics, if they can be called that, are a muddled assembly of blues cliches that make absolutely no sense. If JAKE was still 10 or 12, the guitar playing might be impressive, but at 24 it sucks and is a backward step when compared to his earlier effort.If I listed the better offerings available in this category, this review would be pages long. This is one very poor offering from a muso who should have done a lot better.
