One-Eyed Jack is “Organic, Bohemian-Style, Guitar Gumbo” fueled by rich vocal harmonies, duel guitar leads, and driving rhythms. The band hosts great live performances with jam styles reminiscent of the Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead and Black Crowes.

On their new CD, Before Alone, One-Eyed Jack has jelled into its current and most powerful incarnation. Combining groovin’ trippy tunes like “Before Alone” and hard driving, gritty rockers like “Year of the Locust” with introspective rock ballads like “This, Too, Shall Pass”, the band has created a sound that lures music lovers from a wide range of generational and musical tastes.

The strength of One-Eyed Jack’s live performances has enabled them to play on the same bill with such legends as Hot Tuna, Clarence Clemons, the Band, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

Improvijazation,Issue #36,Rotcod Zzaj: BEFORE ALONE – This is a SCORCHER! Good ole’ down home RAWK-IN… takes ME back a coupla’ decades… but still sounds FRESH! Distinct shades of early Allman brothers stuff (particularly Gregg Allman). I really THOUGHT we’d reviewed something by this group in the last coupla’ years, but I couldn’t find ‘em in our archives… reason that was important to me is I didn’t remember ‘em bein’ quite so vibrant! This is some REALLY great rawk-&-roll! “Year of the Locust” is a standout, high-energy piece that I especially liked… “Draw The Line” is another KICKER! If you like to ROCK – GET this! Comes MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by this reviewer. In fact, it gets the PICK of 1999’s first issue as “best rock music”! If you like unique style & music with energy that will NOT quit
