JAKOB DYLAN Women + Country (2010 UK 11-track CD album - Recorded in Los Angeles, CA, 'Women and Country' is the full realization of a journey Jakob Dylan began on his previous solo release 'Seeing Things', which hearkens back to the timeless artistry of American roots music and country blues masters. Jakob reaches new majestic heights with his voice and song-writing that are as distinct as. This, coupled with T Bone Burnett's haunting production and the stirringly rich vocals by NekoCase and Kelly Hogan, creates a powerful and melancholic experience for the listener. Backing Jakob up on the album are T Bone's acclaimed group of musicians including Dennis Crouch [bass], Jay Bellerose [drums], David Mansfield [fiddle & mandolin], Marc Ribot [guitar], Keefus Ciancia [keyboards], Greg Leisz [pedal steel], Darrell Leonard [trumpet], Ira Nepus [trombone] and George Bohanon [horns]. Highlights include the opener 'Nothin' But the Whole Wide World,' which sets the tone of the album, the pensive ballad 'Down on Our Own Shield,' 'Everybody's Hurting,' which showcases Jakob and Neko's moving harmonies and 'Truth for a Truth' that features great guitar work from Marc Ribot!)
