Press Reviews Jason Shain Here I Am jshain@directvinternet.com (Advance copy, no cover art available at time of writing) Strummer boy guitar + harmonica rack + strained voice. Truisms and third person observations. It's a solo act formula that's been all around us since Bob Dylan was the age he tried to tell Columbia Records he was when he lied to try to weasel out of a contract. It was with us before that, but we thought it was there from necessity rather than choice. Dylan made it stylish, and his huge shadow has kept it stylish. Jason Shain's a lousy Dylan impersonator, though. Poor guy, he can actually sing, and his guitar and harmonica work are solid, if simple. Young Dylan often sounded all too willing to jettison meter, tuning and precision for the sake of getting the words out while they were still angry hot. Mr. Shain's cooler; just as angry, but he's taken some time to sharpen the knife with which he dissects the world we live in. Notice my difficulty in reviewing Mr. Shain rather than the giant he brings to mind. Let me assure you that the effort of jumping over Dylan's shadow and really getting into Shain's observations is quite worthwhile. A long car trip without preoccupations is an ideal setting in which to make his acquaintance. Especially a trip home. Arthur Shuey Outrider Magazine
