Label: Purple Cow Records
By: Jef Kurits
Young, new talent that has the ability to rise to the top of the country music scene is something that everyone in this town is always looking to get a piece of. Look no further than newcomer Jake Mcvey. He has spent the better part of last year, 300 dates to be exact, on the road bringing his music to fans across the nation and opening shows for the likes of Darius Rucker, Martina McBride, Sugarland, and more. Not to mention his countless stops playing free shows at nursing homes, hospitals, etc… and all of this was done before his album was ever even released. With the release of Anything is Possible, Mcvey is well on his way to attracting that much more attention. Positive & upbeat songs like “Any Road Will Get You There,” “Anything is Possible,” and “Carry On,” the current single that sees a way to get through the tough times life tosses our way using mama’s simple advice to carry on through it are attractive with the shape of the economy right now. Another standout track from the album is “I Wanna Live Like That,” a song that’s focus is on the most important aspects of a well-lived life. We all could use a little bit of a positive approach to our own thinking and with this type of effort, Jake Mcvey lets you know that you can get through anything in front of you. Mcvey’s incredible ability to wrap these positive lyrics around a very mainstream friendly sound that gives listeners mid-tempo and catchiness while at the same time knowing how to soften things down is what is going to help him become a household name so get on the Jake Mcvey wagon now and be there first!
