Young Man [Exclusive Black/Gold Marble]

Jamestown Revival have made the quietest record of their career with Young Man, yet it may resonate the most.

Recorded in their home state of Texas, it is their first project without electric guitars, with the emphasis instead on skillful songwriting, flawless harmony, and intricate fingerpicking. In addition, it’s the first time that bandmates Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance have created an album with a producer --in this case, Robert Ellis, a fellow Texan and a recording artist in his own right.

Chance and Clay envision Young Manas a collection of songs that should be played all the way through, like reading a book. “We had the most amazing time recording this album. We laughed nonstop,” Clay says. “When I listen to this album top to bottom, I’m really proud of what we did. I hope that this album transports people because it’s like a time capsule. It takes us right back to that studio and to that couple of weeks. It felt like we were doing what we were meant to do.”
