In Living Cover is a different spin that his previous album, Goddamned. His cover of The Freshman is really great on the piano. Blowing in the Wind is humble and respectful. Both Hands threw me a little bit as there's some mixing in there but overall it's a great album. No matter what Jay does he just does it so well. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, July 8, 2009

Just as I expected it would be after hearing his covers of some of these songs on his youtube page, this new EP is fantastic! His cover of The Freshman is gorgeous with the piano, Zombie is haunting and his rendition of Say It's Possible rivals the original by Terra Naomi. I'm so glad he included two original songs as well - especially Drowning which was the first song he ever wrote! It is an amazing song. Enveloping and dark.

So much talent here! I highly recommend checking him out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Acoustic Covers of Some Popular and Not So Popular Songs, September 26, 2011

The entire album is a wonderful composition of songs driven by piano, guitar, and vocals. Several songs really standout; his original composition "Beautifully" followed by "Freshman", "Both Hands", and "Zombie." The harmonizing with himself on "Both Hands" really captivated me. His strong piano driven version of "Freshman" flowed well with the song and complimented his voice very well.

I listen to CD's all the way through several times (for weeks on end) and there isn't a bad song on this CD. It can play in the background and let you simply enjoy having it play.

I was able to listen to his Goddamned CD via Spotify. It didn't appeal to me as much as this CD.

Overall this is a wonderful album well worth a listen. His original works bookend the CD. His covers play well with his voice and maintain the heart of the song without changing the original artists' intent. I would recommend this album if you enjoy acoustic covers, Jay, or folk.
