Jesse Aycock (from the album Jesse Aycock available on Horton Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
Multi-instrumentalist Jesse Aycock’s self-titled recent release lives somewhere between Indie Rock and American Roots music. You can also throw in a dash of garage, a dollop of psychedelia, and a dose of the laidback Folk Rock. Jesse Aycock is an easy and mellow groove of a record, a fitting release from the Oklahoma musician who fans may know from the jam band, singer-songwriter heavy Hard-Working Americans. Album opener, “Shed the Light”, carries a Cheap Trick or Big Star vibe, a blast of power pop with a 70’s era feel. That cut, along with hard jangle of “High Hopes”, and the electro-Folk of “Past Life”, are the few up-tempo tunes, as Jesse Aycock favors the soulful, slower pace; it’s a groove that works.
Jesse Aycock isn’t without a melancholic mood, dropping lines like ‘it’s so easy to get caught up in yesterday’s old shoes’ from “Wreck Like You” or asking ‘what is left for us, when settled like the dust’ from “Passing Days”, proving he’s not afraid to exercise some of his own singer-songwriter chops as he comes out from behind the role of go-to multi-instrumentalist. The road cut “Roll South” is a stand-out star, a Country-tinged cowpoke cut that’s ambient and dreamy when Jesse Aycock corners the market on the Country-Roots-Lounge genre. The album closer in “Woodland Park” has a low-key, blow-off-work and skip school with your best pal vibe. Jesse Aycock is bringing the best of two worlds; a singer-songwriter with instrumental chops, dropping what is a musically thick record with a wonderful stoner groove. (by Bryant Liggett)
