Jake Rocks

Jessie Lee Montague and John Annese recently released their fourth album, Bridge, on their own Desert Dog Records. The album has been receiving rave reviews and critical acclaim. Seth Rogovoy from WAMC northeast public radio calls it “…one of the funkiest albums to come out of the Woodstock area since the 1970’s”. Nine Songs from the album were recently licensed by J2R Music for placement in film and television. Bridge, offers the same great songwriting from Jessie and John, the production was brought to the next level with the incredible talents of John Medeski, from the outstanding trio, Medeski Martin and Wood, who layed down some keyboard tracks on several of the songs. All in all a tasty treat for hungry listeners!

Jake’s third album, Snake Road, can be purchased via CDBaby.com. The album is chock full of great tunes from Jessie and John. Most recently, several of the songs were featured on ABC's "All My Children", and "Soap Net". Check out some clips via RealPlayer of Cowboy, 1000 Years, Fool's Blues, and Sometimes.
