With a sound that’s mature beyond his years, 15 year old Jack West is gearing up to release a live EP on 17th April. The EP was recorded at Easy Street Records in West Seattle. Recorded live and mixed by renowned producer Barrett Jones, the EP includes polished covers of ‘Sick Love’ by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and ‘Like a Stone’ by Audioslave as a tribute to the late Chris Cornell. He has amassed over 10,000 streams on his debut single, and joined Eddie Vedder on stage to perform to 30,000 in Nashville.
‘Jack West Live At Easy Street’ boasts West’s raw and energetic sound. It’s an EP brimming with swagger-drenched rock n roll, solid tunes and refined musicianship. West shows maturity through this EP while giving a glimpse into all the vigor his live shows behold. His cover of ‘Sick Love’ by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and ‘Like a Stone’ by Audioslave sit snugly on the EP blending with the tonality of his own tunes while adding a dash of finesse and slick textures into the mix.
There is a blues tone to West’s tracks within the vocal melodies especially in the twanging smooth power ballad – esque ‘Look Out Below’.The rich band sound translates well and compliments his vocals. West uses pummeling drums with sweltering guitar lines and groove infested bass to ignite the rock n’ roll charm of his latest single ‘Bring The Records Back’ and the desert lonely ‘Leave Us Behind’ while ‘Revival’ provides a laid back Californian sun kissed euphoria beneath the energetic instrumental burst. West’s vocals are quite impressive, his rasp hued whisper warms the tracks with a gentle caress while his dynamic vocal eruptions for the chorus exude swagger and panache.
‘Jack West Live At Easy Street’ shows West’s capability as a performer. He reins in his wild and energetic set with his calm presence while scorching instrumentation and a rich wall of sound rages behind him.
‘Jack West Live At Easy Street’ will be released this Friday April 17th
