Jake LaBotz (from the album They’re Coming for Me available on Hi-Style Records)
There is a lot of imagery circling through the mind and body of Jake LaBotz. His history rambles sometimes gracefully, occasionally stumbling, forward, characters emerging fully formed or bearing a resemblance to relationships made in a myriad of worlds. The fellow travelers along for the stories come from times Jake LaBotz logged growing up in Chicago, Illinois, relocating to Southern California to take up residence in downtown LA cheap hotels living life as a drug addict, working as a film actor through friend Steve Buscemi, a Gospel musician in all black church, and a Buddhist meditation teacher.
Using his background as a starting point gives a clear understanding of They’re Coming for Me, the recent release from Jake LaBotz. They’re Coming for Me opens with its title track, the beat a constant footfall through the cut as fears find a groove. A center-stage spotlight locates a legend reading his story in “Hey Bigfoot” while as Southwest melody goes loco with “Johnnybag the Superglue” and delicate notes flicker and slowly fade in “Are We Saying Goodbye”. They’re Coming for Me dials in a Country station for “Grace of the Leaves”, whispers “Without the Weight” on a determined rhythm, and busks on a shaggy streetcorner strum for “The Bankrobber’s Lament while Jake LaBotz juggles singer/songwriter options with “Nashville, Nashville”.
