On the title track for Cul-De-Sac Kid, Jess Jocoy offers a personal accounting of an upbringing for a younger self, showing the girl make her own way through a dysfunctional family into an adulthood that realizes that ‘thirty ain’t old but it kinda is’. She questions the validity of her own art within the story that develops, finding strength in her own words and announcing that ‘the country really needs a Country song from a cul-de-sac kid’. Country music that believes that real instruments should back their truths is the brand on Cul-De-Sac Kid. A dead-end job is staged and discussed in “Above Ground” while Jess Jocoy slows the tempo to a trot for the tale of “Every Good Cowboy”, letting “Gumweed” luxuriate on dreamscape rhythms, and watches a “Neon Moon” color the world blue in hue and heart hurt.

Following a string of releases that date back to 2020, Cul-De-Sac Kid showcases the sounds of an artist that blends Country and Folk music into a style for her own career. A rolling rhythm listens to the story of a working man in “A Lifetime Only Lasts So Long” as the playing quiets to listen to the whispered delivery of “Tearing Up Heaven” while Cul-De-Sac Kid hears reality write the words for “You Sure Showed Me”, admitting “I Could Live on That Alone” as it hears the admissions of a heart full of love. Seattle-raised Jess Jocoy is the curator of diverse emotions, presenting triumph and trouble as equal muses for her songs. The lonely sound of bent guitar strings is the trumpet that announces “Echo in the Canyon” where Jess Jocoy exits Cul-De-Sac Kid with her own experiences; promising salvation within a personal vision quest.
