One of the perks of being a music review editor is getting new music in the mail. I love being given access to special downloads and streaming audio by bands and managers, but getting an actual album or CD in the mail is a great thrill, especially when it’s something as good as Cody Jasper’s self-titled album. This 38-minute record is one slick display of outlaw music. The opener, “Black Cadillac,” features handclaps, floor stomps, and Jasper’s plea to the Lord to save his soul from the Devil who is “drivin’ his train.” Jasper admits he’s lived a life of sin and wishes he could take it back, although it sounds like he had fun doing it. It’s a perfect opener because it will instantly make you want to hear the rest of the record (and Nick Jay’s organ and piano work on it is fantastic).
