Sounds Like
An Italian with a banjo in a tree...or we could just say it sounds like occasionally traditional, sometimes bizarre...... country music.
"NYC someday will brag about its great legends of country music, that's right we said country, and among those names will be the engaging, hardworking, witty, and schmoozin' and boozin' Grace." - Village Voice
The Jack Grace Band is Martini Country: honky tonk with an urban, moody edge -- a blend of Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and chicken piccata. Led by the aforementioned schmoozin' and boozing Jack "Martini Cowboy" Grace (who is has also been seen swigging generous helpings of Maker's Mark), the music has been touted by many scribes as "gritty, down home country the way it should be" and so authentically urban country "you can practically taste the whiskey dripping off the songs."
Those songs are delivered in so fresh and spontaneous a manner as to belie the careful song-craft involved in recording after recording. His latest, The Martini Cowboy, is a paean to the romance of urban country, with taxis, carriage rides through Central Park, pretty young ladies to win and lose, and bittersweet memories tinged with Sapphire regrets.
