About the Artist
Led by former Five Easy Pieces frontman Marc Dauer, the Jukebox Junkies' self-titled debut album takes off where his brilliant former pop/rock band left off, and also leads the listener into a different, slightly more rustic musical territory. In many ways, this album is not unlike a great, long-lost Wilco album, yet with a less eclectic approach and a more direct song/performance presentation. Dauer's songs are loaded with fabulous country/folk-rock hooks, which sound fresh and familiar at the same time. The horn-driven "Over and Over" may be the most undeviating and accessible cut on the album, and is filled with a brilliant pop buoyancy, yet it does this without compromising the earthy, streetwise appeal that marks almost all of the songs here. Lyrically, all of the tunes shoot straight from the hip, with a solid sense of virtue and strength of spirit that is extremely appealing. The heartbreakingly beautiful ballad "Reason to Believe" (not to be confused with the Tim Hardin song of the same name) is an exquisite example of this, reaching into the listener's guts and soul with a feather rather than a scalpel, pulling out new insights into the human condition. In the end, Jukebox Junkies is a diverse and powerful, yet intimate, record of songs, rather than a fashion statement, which is something that the record industry still feels the need to inflict on the general public. This is the real thing and that's a real good thing.
Product Description
You know how you sometimes drive past somebody's car whose windows are down and a really cool song is playing loud enough for you to hear that just hits you where you live but the guy drives off before you can ask him what it is? That's how (this) album feels. Luckily for you, I'm not speeding away and leaving you in the dark. This lyrical album is by Jukebox Junkies and it's called Choose Your Fix.
