Soothing and eclectic Americana songwriter's songwriter that mixes two-steps with tangos, surf rock with old-time bluegrass.
Editorial review
Mixing Appalachian folksiness with a more contemporary roots rock veneer, Jeff Krebs makes Americana in its most honest and well-crafted forms. Cool Wurlitzer-driven pop tunes mix with more solemn acoustic singer/songwriter material, as Krebs shows an expert hand at blending traditional instrumentation and themes with a more modern songwriting sensibility. Even certain folk music motifs are mixed and matched, with Spanish music crossed with surf music on "??Extravagaria!" and Turkish clarinet turning up on "Tango Delle Rose." Overall, Krebs is a consistently engaging and unpredictable artist who never settles in one spot long enough to let you know exactly where he's going next, yet manages to leave the listener with a fully developed impression of what sets him apart from the majority of his contemporaries. That's enough to make it likely that Keep an Eye Out will be only the first course in what should prove to be an interesting career. ~ Matt Fink, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"Rarely does a CD come across my desk that on first listen I'm so stunned at its brilliance that I feel somehow clueless for not having heard of the artist previous to receiving it in the mail. Such is the case with Jeff Krebs and his sophomore solo album, Keep an Eye Out, a stomp through lyrics worthy of Springsteen's best story telling masterpieces, dirt-under-the-nails country, slight bluegrass, and folk. Opening with masterful banjo, the title track has no problem instantly grabbing your attention and establishing this as an album that is going to draw you in throughout. Krebs' storytelling seems very autobiographical. His voice is warm and torn, rough-edged by life, but still smiling because he's able to tell his stories to all that will listen. The rollicking "Emily Take It Back" is bouncy and fun, complete with a rock piano intro, and a sing-along chorus hard to miss. However, as joyous as the melody is, the lyrics are melancholy, packed with sorrow as a relationship goes sour.
