EP Review: Jake Loban 'Chasing Fire'

Courtesy of the Artist

California native Jake Loban continues his story through his new, self-produced EP Chasing Fire. The four-track set kicks off with the smoky pedal steel-laden title track that details the end of a toxic love before segueing into the lively "Califonia Kid" an ode to the state, the people and the good times had there. Harmonica perfectly captures the sentiment in "Solitary Blues" which deals with having to chose between a woman and music, and having done so, being left alone and lonely. Persevering through the hard times is the focus of roots rocker "Tough Love" which rounds out a brief set that you should definitely give a listen.
