Jack Rowdy / Press

“Jack Rowdy’s self-titled album features a diverse array of subgenres within modern country. With red dirt, pop, ballads, gospel, and hot country all receiving attention, it’s easy to see that Jack Rowdy has studied up. Far from being a radio pastiche, Jack Rowdy infuses each of its tunes with enough muscle from the self-stated “classic rock and ’80’s hair metal” influences to set the act apart from the pack. Not that this is outlaw country; Jack Rowdy doesn’t stray far from timeworn themes of whiskey, women and regrets. But by often employing a rock-inspired, distorted-guitar tone (“Hot Little Cowgirl” excepted), it skips many of the cliché’s associated with modern country. The vocals also stand out for their clarity and agreeableness – no whiny yelps here. Jack Rowdy’s debut is still strongly a country album; those opposed to modern country as a whole need not apply. But those pining for some tunes with a little more power than Rascal Flatts or Toby Keith”
