Excellent songwritng,vocals and guitar. As a guitar player myself I reall enjoy the slide guitar on "If I had a Dream". Everytime I listen to it it keeps getting better. It is nice when a top notch cd comes out of the blue when you least expect it. It is a reminder of the good things in life. Thanks for the music Jake. Keep it coming. Paul Otis Great Cd!

I am trying hard to get a contact to you to ask some questions about your paperback "Adam And The Ants". As I am not successful so far, I am using this opportunity to ask you if there is a way to talk the mentioned book?

I'm not worried about such publicists' pyramid schemes, though -- as David Thomas promised me, I'll be a pharaoh soon.

When I first heard this collection of songs it floored me. Every song a gem. Jake is an artist. Some live in my head for days until I can substitute it for another. This CD deserves wide acclaim.
