Spears, Jay

We Are All Born Lucky

"First came Boy Howdy, with boy-meets-boy pop tunes like I Like Mike and Cryin Over Brian, followed by Playin On My Team, with its full-choir gospel rocker Smak Dem Christians Down (endearing him to hypocritical right wing evangelicals everywhere). Then came cancer. Surgery. Chemotherapy. Neuropathy. Narcotics. Steroids. Survival. Finally healthy once again, heres Jays comeback album. How does it feel? Its titled We Are All Born Lucky. Serving up...a burst of warm California sunshine, with juicy harmonies, extra-crispy guitars, brassy big-band beats, and a bit of an edge, Jays third CD of witty, peppy pop takes on life in the big city, L.A. style. Spears is an eccentric and an original... guitar-pop with an agenda. Jay Spears is funny, angry, sexy, generous and badly-behaved. He is a true heir of the 60s, when style and political engagement were more congruent, and pop music had more spiritual energy." - Robert Farrar, psychodrome.co.uk
