Gilded is the debut release from California singer/songwriter Jade Jackson – a young American roots songsmith with a great sense of melody and rhythm and a beautiful yet slightly raspy voice. Produced by Mike Ness (Social Distortion) and influenced by such luminaries as Hank Williams, Lucinda Williams, Townes Van Zandt, Gillian Welch, and Ryan Adams, the polished set of tracks reflect upon life’s trials and tribulations. Standout tracks include: the country punk tinged “Good Time Gone” and “Troubled End”; the intimate “Finish Line”; the country waltz “No Guarantees”; and the closer, “Better Off.” The 11 songs that make up Gilded are a captivating mix of rustic Americana, country punk, folk music and classic country. If you like Gillian Welch, Kathleen Edwards, or Niki Lane, give Jade Jackson a listen. – Written by JFelton
