Reviewed! Jonathan Jeter and the Revelators - Late To My Own Funeral
Jonathan Jeter and the Revelators
Late to My Own
Funeral
Jonathan Jeter and the Revelators’ Late to My Own Funeral calls to mind a number of images – hazy,
dimly lit bars, tall cold beers (Pabst Blue Ribbon perhaps?), pork pie hats,
harmonicas, and maybe, just maybe, some sweet beards and/or mustaches. Frontman
Jonathan Jeter’s smoky, gravel-laced delivery leads the overtly blue collar,
workman-like charge on Late to My Own
Funeral, which shines during its most earnest moments of Midwest Americana
(“Come On”) and rollicking, old fashioned rock and roll (“Eventually”). This is
definitely music for a lazy day, tunes that could lull you into a relaxed state
with a nice smoke and an adult libation, though this collection of tracks could
just as easily anger the blood and possibly incite a bar fight. Either way you
choose to enjoy Late to My Own Funeral, it’s
enjoyable. The songwriting is honest and pure, which makes this album about as
real as it gets. Late to My Own Funeral
is a good time from beginning to end, one to be enjoyed by all – Jonathan Jeter
and the Revelators wouldn’t have it any other way.
