Jake Andrews's Bio:

The musical journey from blues prodigy to mature bluesman is a deceptively difficult one+ but Jake Andrews has successfully navigated the course in fine form. Andrews+ who was jamming on the Austin blues scene with legends like Albert Collins+ Otis Rush+ and Albert King while still in elementary school+ has been a precocious blues pupil. He"s graduated from "Little Jake" to "Guitar Jake" to a genuine Mannish Boy capable of stamping his own musical identity on a song. This self-titled recording+ following his successful 1999 debut disc+ <I>Time to Burn</I>+ shows no sign of a sophomore slump+ as Andrews skillfully mixes hot licks and solid songs. Almost all the material is Andrews"s own+ and producer Carla Olson adeptly allows it to speak for itself. Andrews"s lean and mean guitar style carries a contemporary edge+ but its roots in Stevie Ray Vaughan and his influence+ Albert King+ are always apparent+ even when Andrews expands his sound beyond its blues foundation. Bassist Mike Sconce+ also heard on <I>Time to Burn</I>+ anticipates and reinforces Andrews"s efforts+ making songs like "In Your Sunshine+" "Easy to Come By+" and "They"ll Never Know" radio-ready rocking blues hits for a younger generation. <I>--Michael Point</I>

Time to Burn

Jake Andrews Album Editorial:
Looking at the cover of Jake Andrewss debut its easy to dismiss him as yet another blues wunderkind of the sort that have emerged with increasing frequency in the 1990s. But pop in the CD and hit play and immediately one realizes that Andrews is no wannabe. The title track which opens the album contains hints of Buddy Guy in its blues-rock riffs and no wonder: Andrews appeared onstage with Guy when he was but 8 years old. And those guitar riffs by turns crunchy and smooth are what to listen for on iTime to Burn; Andrews isnt merely technically skilled but has the ability to set the tone for a song from the opening line. Weak moments are few and far between here excused by a wealth of strong material that along with surprisingly mature lyrics indicates that Andrews is an artist to watch. Genevieve Williams
