Gilded

"Instrumentally, the 11 songs on Gilded are an intoxicating sonic mixture of classic country, rustic Americana, west coast punk, coffeehouse folk and more, an amalgam that Jackson credits to an upbringing soundtracked by her father's record collection that was rich with Hank Williams, Bruce Springsteen, George Jones, The Smiths and The Gun Club ... While this is Jackson's first notable release, she's actually been writing and performing for over a decade - a fact that lends credence and context to the heightened level of maturity and sophistication that, while not often found on a debut album, is in overabundance here".

"Gilded is the debut offering from California singer/songwriter Jade Jackson. It marks the arrival of a young but sophisticated talent who possesses a keen melodic ear, an innate sense of rhyme and phrasing, and a slow, syrupy sweet, slightly raspy voice to deliver it all in".
