“Burn”

New album by Jacob Latham

Release date—August 28th, 2015

Bloomington, Indiana roots rocker Jacob Latham is set to release his first full-length Album, “Burn”, on August 28th, 2015.  Having a performing career already spanning 8 years, Latham is still in his first pair of shoes, age-wise, at 20, but his songwriting and soulful performances bely his youth.

Already, two years ago, Latham introduced himself to the world with his highly touted EP, “Midnight Train”.  Americana UK said, “His “musicianship on the album is superb (sections with mandolin and harmonica particularly stand out)”. And, east-coast e-zine, The Alternate Root, mused “Jacob Latham is a story teller whose voice inhabits the skin of his characters.”

Latham’s latest effort is more rock and less folk, but still maintains the themes of loss and love in the landscape Americana.  The gritty ‘New York’ aligns loss with place, while ‘Lake Ontario’ seems to have the object of his love a body of water.  There are so many hooks, such as “burn, burn, burn ‘till the fire dies”—from the title track, ‘Burn’, and “slow down, just a little, slow down” on ‘Slow Down’.  Those two are more roots with lovely fingerstyle acoustic guitar beds.  ‘The Angel is Next’ and ‘You Never Know’ are more rock, with full-blown Jimmy Page-esque guitar solos from producer and guitar wizard David England.

2014 saw some exciting opportunities for Latham, being selected as a finalist in the Troubadour competition at the famous Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the songwriting competition at the Connecticut Folk Grassy Hill Festival.  With the release of ‘Burn’ this year, the future looks bright for the young musician.
