Got an email from Daniela of Rex Morgan Records touting one Steven Jaymes, a transplanted New Zealander now in the Nutmeg state or New York, I couldn't tell which. So I listened to his four selections on his MySpace page....and liked them. Reminded me a little of Marc Cohn; what do you think? Per his MySpace....."He has been compared to Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Leon Russell, Van Morrison and Joe Jackson. Some call it the best jazzy roots you will ever hear, others call him a folk rocker, and even a country rocker. But I think the more apt and "new" term is singer songwriter. While living in New York, Stevens 3rd album "Hemingway's Cats" was completed & Steven's feeling for that city comes through with such tracks as Manhattan, and the title track Hemingway’s cats written on a road trip between New York and Key West. The new Album is "Black 17" and is another side of the singer songwriter with the bluesy southern roots coming through. Steven seems to have a knack of collecting and combining amazing musicians from far flung places to create moments of magic."
