Like a well made salad with a few interesting surprize ingredients tossed in for
author: J.DoskyThe music, lyrics, will stick with you all day long! Great cd to listen to on the road. I tried to describe this cd to friends and had to put it in the context of a great chef's salad with sundried tomatoes and goat cheese, lightly dressed with a balsamic vinegerette and don't forget the fresh ground black pepper. Man that's Austin.

Stunningly Haunting
author: Richard Amery Kenora Daily Miner and NewsJelly Jar’s new CD, Preserved, is a gripping acoustic powered trip. Songwriter Tom Metcalf’s haunting banjo adds a surreal string to Jelly Jar’s modern roots powered journey. His mouth full of marbles New Orleans drawl adds an otherworldly edge to a kind of spooky yet uptempo ride. This is one fun and thought provoking listen. The band’s other songwriter, Rick Duszynski has a more contemporary, Brooks and Dunn like vocal style which helps cuts like Man that’s Austin really stand out. In addition, the rest of the band tears it up, which makes Jelly Jar essential listening for anyone looking for an alternative to modern country and folk.
Heck of a lot of fun
author: JD HighlandThis CD is a ton of fun. Tunes that you can't listen to sitting down. Some lyrics are just plain fun, others are both thoughful and beautiful. I love this CD!
sounds exactly like the cover, if you can believe that
I described this to a friend as being "exactly like Tom Waits, not in the sound, because they really sound nothing like Tom Waits, but in the way that once you hear them, it's hard to compare them to anything but themselves". This may be the least helpful review ever given, but you'll know what I mean after you buy the cd. Also, one of the singers makes me think of Bender from Futurama, which only helps make the songs cooler.
