Just Drive

Jackalope Junction live at the Bitter End, NYC Reviewed in Good Times Magazine, March 6, 2001
Jackalope Junction creatively blends country with rock, blues, and pop, creating a beautiful kaleidoscope of musical adventures.

Product Description
Jackalope Junction has been a mainstay of the New York metro country scene for five years now. From dance halls to dive bars, county fairs to concert stages, the band's infectious energy and outstanding material have earned the sextet a reputation as a first-rate local draw.

The new CD Just Drive represents the recorded debut of Jackalope Junction's current six-piece lineup, and showcases every element of the band's multifaceted sound. From the irresistible groove of "This Is Me", "Sheila, and "Ain't Gonna Lift You Up" to the soaring harmony of the title track and the atmospheric ballad "Loving Him Less", Jackalope Junction's music injects the California country-rock sound of the Eagles, Poco and Linda Ronstadt with a muscular rhythm-and-blues-inflected backbeat, the lyrical power and storytelling sense of John Hiatt and Steve Earle, and the pop sensibility of contemporary Nashville.

In the summer of 2000 Jackalope Junction performed for thousands of Woodstock Nation faithful at the Yasgur's Farm Reunion in Bethel, NY, and opened for country superstar Martina McBride at NJ's PNC Bank Arts Center. They have shared the stage with country-pop rising star Jessica Andrews and opened for blues-rock veterans George Thorogood and the Steve Miller Band. Inside Connection magazine praised the band’s “innovative” sound and “huge crossover appeal”, calling songwriter Dave Isaacs "one of the finest writers [Long] Island can claim as its own.” The Renegade Newsletter raved, “Jackalope Junction is impossible to classify, and that in itself is what is so good about this band.”

Album Description

On their debut CD, California-based professor Stuart Rosh and his band, The Geniuses, merge a vintage, road house sound with smart, here and now lyrics. Blues, honky tonk, folk, and gospel provide the backdrop to stories about grown men and women grappling with love, children, politics, and a funny and tragic world that sometimes just plain doesn't make sense.

Pedal steel, fiddle and an occasional nasty Telecaster drive songs that by turns make you laugh or shed a tear, and always keep your feet tapping.

Critics call Stuart's award winning songs "captivating and fascinating" and "compelling." Grammy-winning producer Alan Abrahams says it's "excellent music." Sony Music executive Cliff Audretch says it's "great stuff, the kind of music I like to listen to when I get home."

Accept No Imitations is an album of rich story-telling free of pretensions or artifice. It's music that makes you smile and reflect, full of songs with finely drawn characters and narratives that resonate with every day experience.

Album Description

Stuart Rosh and The Geniuses have a rich collective history, having played in the studio and on stage with Richard Tompson, Leftover Salmon, John Renbourn, Brian Lynch, and members of the Heartbreakers. They've played at major venues throughout California. Winged Flight.2004

Honest and fun music.......2004-09-10

I heard Stuart playing solo live on my local radio station and bought this CD. The band is great, Stuart's voice is down home and strong, and the songs, well the songs are really what make this CD stand out. I listen to this CD in my car constantly and my husband and kids tease me about singing the songs in the shower. If you like down home music and want something fresh and better than the slick stuff on country radio, this CD is the ticket.

sounds good to me !.......2002-01-10

We went to dinner at a restaurant in Glens Falls, New York. Mike Grutka was the evening's entertainment, and it was then we were introduced to his music. We bought a copy of the CD after his first set (made him autograph it, too !) The songs are easily accessible at first listen, but continue to grow on you. The first cut, California, is the obvious "hit single release", but that would not be fair to the rest of the CD. California should have been buried bit deeper, a diamond to be uncovered after sifting through other stones of varying but undeniable value. The REM influence is there, but since I like REM that's no problem, and it's not an overstated thing, anyway. My favorites are Oceans, Apology, California, and Rhe's Song. The only cut i don't care for, at the risk of sounding unpatriotic, is 9-11-01. The song starts out nice, ends oddly, and just does not fit with the rest of the CD. It flat out does not belong in the set, and I wish Mr. Grutka had chosen another song. But I guess at the time it felt right. Heck, it may be right and history will call me a poor critic. Anyway, this is a good cd of primarily acoustic guitar music, with enough orchestration to enhance, and not overpower, what Grutka is doing. I thought it was worth paying for, and the rewards of listening to it support this, long after dinner is done. All in all a tasty treat for the ear. I hope a sophomore effort is planned. I'll buy that one, too.

Can't Stop Playing It !!.......2001-08-31

There is no doubt in my mind that Jackalope Junction is onboard a fast train to the future of country rock. The title song Just Drive is full of what makes a great song stand apart in any genre. Smart lyrics, with engaging music, performed exquisitely. The blending of voices and instruments throughout the CD makes one wonder what Fleetwood Mac would have sounded like if they had hung out with Gram Parsons or Lyle Lovett. They'd be Jackalope Junction.
From the smooth modern country of Just Drive to the bluesy simplicity of By Heart there is something here for everyone who loves fine music.

Jackalope Junction's Just Drive.......2001-08-31

An excellent mix of styles!
First rate songwriting by David Isaacs & AMAZING vocal work by Catherine Miles!!!!!!
All performances are top notch & worth buying a copy or two or three......
And I'm NOT just saying that becuase they're friends of mine!
