Before the fiddle plays a thoughtful refrain, and before the steel guitar and soft back beat sneak in for the second verse, the close harmony of Jamestown Revival’s new song “Working On Love” encompasses everything that makes bandmates Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance so beloved in today’s roots music scene. Everything else is just lagniappe. “Working On Love,” the final track on Jamestown Revival’s upcoming album Young Man, deals in the continuing pursuit of loving better, one where the music is only bettered by the sentiment of its message. “The love we have in our lives for partners, family, and friends isn't something that we can just set and forget,” say Clay and Chance. “Working on love is like plowing the field, watering the soil, and pruning the tree. To love unconditionally is a lifelong journey.” Fans can hear “Working On Love” now at this link.
“Working On Love” is the third song to be released from Young Man. Produced and mixed by Robert Ellis and Josh Block and bolstered by a thriving community of friends and musicians in Texas, Young Man is Jamestown Revival’s first project without electric guitars, with the emphasis instead on skillful songwriting, flawless harmony, and intricate fingerpicking. Showcasing most of the genres that collectively make up “Americana” music—folk, jazz, bluegrass, roots rock—sometimes all in one song, this upcoming album represents a distilled and pure Jamestown Revival at their finest. Young Man is due out January 14th and can be pre-ordered or pre-saved now right here. Fans can hear previously released singles “These Days” and “Young Man” at this link.
