Jackson Cavalier
‘One//Four’
Self-released
It’s not that
Jackson Cavalier has signed over to more countrified constraints. But I gotta
say: Just dig the tonk and twang of Cavalier’s reedy voice as he puts it
through the paces on his new, three-song EP “One//Four.” The first of an
eventual quartet of EP’s, “One//Four” is a collaborative work between Cavalier,
Ben Morey, Katie Morey (nรฉe Preston, a CITY contributing writer), and Joey
Small. And though the foursome seems to rely heavily on old-school country, this
is not a concept album by any stretch, and is “just a collective volume of music
I’m making as time goes on,” Cavalier says. Opening track “Lilly May June,”
with all its swingin’ jump, skip and skedaddle, is destined to become a fan
favorite. You’re gonna like this.
