"A lot of the music I recorded for Ten Little Ditties has become highly personal for me and I hope to inspire other people to continue to record covers - much in the way that folk songs were traditionally passed around, reflecting culture; with personal style and passion being the focus.
The songs that make up Ten Little Ditties are but a few of the vast tradition of American folk and blues that have inspired me and they represent songs I personally love to listen to. I have included (in the insert) the names of the artist who inspired my rendition, not necessarily the person who wrote the song, but the version I love.
For Cocaine Blues there is not a specific artist that inspired my version, it just happened to be a song that made the cut. Prohibition Ballad on the other hand was a song I found randomly when sorting through a book of old, English & Scottish traditional numbers. As there was no music accompaniment provided, I added a guitar that I thought fit well and altered the lyrics a wee bit, to fit American Prohibition history, rather than English Prohibition history.
I have not recorded as Jared "Doc" Estes since 2013 and thus this album provides a blueprint for what inspires me and what kind of music I hope to continue to record with that "Doc" moniker. I expect to have some additional songs compiled as Jared "Doc" Estes before the year is out."

Here's what Dan Tindall of Prosity Records has to say about this release: "Four songs in a modern folk style. Lyrical, tough, fast, tender, with spare arrangements and a human vocal in a singular rhythmic style.

Tongue & Groove Records 005 - Jared's Insomnia Cafe is a true confessional singer-songwriter album by Jared "Doc" Estes. Tossing the harp aside for a more bare and poetry-driven approach "Doc" takes us on a wild ride through the night time rants of his mind. Insomnia Cafe truly attempts to blend traditional folk with the insomniatic confessional singer-songwriter aesthetic. On the 7 minute song 'A Psalm' and 6 minute song 'The Seeds of Change' "Doc" reaches his poetic climax. Meanwhile, the songs 'Cod'ine', 'I Was Born 10,000 Years Ago', and 'In The Pines' connect Jared to the traditional folk of the past. 'My Sweet Lord' similarly titled to the George Harrison song begins the album with an open but powerful start, leaning more towards the sounds of Soundgarden then George Harrison. As one listener explains 'there's a great raw, earth quality to your voice', and that's what Jared's trying to attain: a raw, earthy experience, full of honesty and with a strong connection to the traditional folk of the past.
As J Moss over at The Modern Folk Music of America explains - "jared 'doc' estes of olympia. washington, does folk with a loud, joyful, almost punkish swagger. his latest album, 'jared's insomnia cafe', is collection of quality originals and a few arrangements of traditional folk standards, including the great folk tunes 'codine' and 'in the pines'. the production is stripped down. ecstatic folk with an olympia touch."
We hope you enjoyed this plug in! Be sure to checkout Jared's most powerful album yet here and feel free to contact us directly for a free download of the entire album, here!
