When Jake recorded "Alive & Screaming" it was all so new. Jake was green... the songs, his performance, the idea of the record was so raw, so full of honesty and brittle broken hopeful moments. As we have traveled along the musical journey of Jake Walden, we have witnessed the evolution of "Alive & Screaming" and the rise of Jake as a renowned and most celebrated singer/songwriter. As he moves towards the release of his next album "Same Something Different" ~ Jake brings to us an EP of 4 LIVE tracks that have been monumental to him as an artist.
Once again, Jake Walden has shared something so very
special. Take a moment and watch, listen. Hopefully his music will
touch you in a very special way and you will seek out and embrace all
that he has to give. Once you do, you will know, at that very moment
that he is like no other...
Please share this with
your friends... with love
In Jake’s words ~
“A Case of
You”
"There are few songs that
remain constants for me. This song is for my Mom who's birthday is this
week. A Case of You along with so many Joni songs have been the bridge
between us and helped in growing our friendship throughout my adult
life. Blue, the album this is off of was a seminal piece of work in my
Mom's life, and luckily it became the same for me. There really are no
words to say how much this song means to me, as a writer, a singer and
a hopeless romantic. I find it's meanings to be endless and I hope in
this little moment, in that tiny room with that old microphone I was
able to capture just that.
Stevie Nicks meets Shania Twain meets Nora Jones, together with Irish musicians "The Black Donnellys", came up with the name Colette Kavanagh. What could be better than that. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/colettekavanagh
