Massachusetts based Jabe took the name of guitarist / vocalist Jabe Beyer who's press kit says has "the blood of Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits running through his veins." I'm not a doctor (nor do I play one on TV) but I think Mr. Beyer is in need of some blood work. I mean, having Neil Young's blood can't be healthy, can it ? Jabe play an assortment of styles that can best be described as rock with a country/folk/bluegrass flavor. While this is not my bag and probably not 99% of Romper readers' thing either, I've got to admit two things: 1). I like the track Those Times Are Over as it is pretty damn catchy and lyrically hits close to home and 2). Overall, Mr. Beyer is a talented lyricist. If you want to seem cooler than your snobby friends with DMB bumper stickers, look for this 2 CD set from Jabe. The 2nd disc has some MP3 files that were pretty good with the lyrically entertaining Face For Radio and It's Time To Go. Other noteworthy tracks on disc one were the upbeat Into A Wall and the dark Cold Cold Wind. Like I said, this really isn't for me or most ECR readers but I thought I'd give Jabe props for what they do because they do it well. I also detect a little Bob Dylan in Jabe Beyer's veins. Hopefully, they screen him at Red Cross blood drives. I'd rather die on the operating table than get a transfusion from this cat- he's toxic ! Review by: Samuel Adams
