New York legend Jake Jacobs

Post by Joachim Kettner »

With his partner Bunky he made two wonderful records in the late sixties. That's when I heard a lap-steel for the first time. About ten years he released a new record.
There's a track on it with some incredible steel playing.
I can't put a link to it from my Smartphone, so would somebody be so kind to do it for me?
It's on YouTube, type in:
Jake And The Rest Of The Jewels
Song title is Stay In Shape.
Thank You!

Thanks! Those Bunky&Jake and Family Jewels records were so cool. Anyone into the early NRBQ sound would love them, I think. The cut you highlighted was great. I was unaware of that recording.

Yes, Kevin my favorits also. Terry Adams contributed piano on his record. He also did a track with the Q and sang with his friend Willi deVille.
