Lock My Feelings In A Jar
Jeff Alan Ross
Akashic Records
After more than one listen to the recently released collection of songs by Los Angeles based recording artist Jeff Alan Ross I must say the melodies remain a constant deep within my well worn brain. From the opening cut, “Love Is Raining Down” to the final offering “Name Of The Game” it’s an onslaught of well crafted songwriting that take listeners on a touching and emotional journey into the personal life of Ross. It seems clear that the inspiration for this release is his family and their impact on his life. Deeply personal songs such as “Harmony’s Song” and “It Was Always You” reflect Ross’s devotion to family and it hits you as real and quite moving.
Musically, this artist has clearly been influenced by McCartney, the later British Invasion and maybe a dash of Richard Thompson if he had a really good day. A standout tune on the record is “Carrier Of The Dream” which weaves a compelling melody with symbolic lyrics that tell a mystical story of personal redemption. My recommendation for optimal listening of this record is either first thing in the morning to maybe assist in facing the world (especially a random dreary Monday) or a prelude to a family gathering that you may be dreading. I can guarantee a quick listen will help you through the experience. In short, “Lock My Feelings Up In A Jar” is a warm and enjoyable release that will be more than worth your time and 14 bucks. Give it a test drive and see for yourself.
