"A shelf full of records / A fridge full of beer" sings Nashville's Craig Jackson on the title track of his forthcoming EP Sweeter Songs. This record takes the listener back to the early days of Southern California rock, ala vintage Jackson Browne and The Eagles (pre Joe Walsh); sunny, dusty and just the right amount of country twang in the guitars. Craig is a great songwriter and the kind of vocalist you feel like you know. Ex-Wilco drummer Ken Coomer brings outstanding production and drums/percussion to this six-song collection, which also enlists other ace Nashville players. It's smooth and would perfectly accompany a Rock Bottom American Dream IPA or two.
