Jared James Nichols, Black Magic. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is no mystery, no sleight of hand or conjuring trick visible, intended or perceived when you listen to Jared James Nichols perform. The appeal, the dedication and the captivating are all too real, all too genuine to be anything but truth wrapped up in fingers that play with the authority of the Blues Masters of old and the mind that won’t stop playing with notes and lyrics; if it must be seen as magic, then it must be dark, that ol’ Black Magic which even Faustus would shy away from.

Jared James Nichols, Highwayman EP. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

William Harrison Ainsworth, the creator of the most famous Highwayman of all the dashing Dick Turpin, could not himself have come up with a more dashing hero than resides in the musician Jared James Nichols.

Life on the road is perhaps the pinnacle of a musician’s daily life. Away from the possibility of awards, of the dedication of the fans buying singles, E.Ps and albums, playing for a different crowd every night, performing for a crowd with energy to give and respect to unfold, an audience that at the end of the day surrenders their wares, perhaps their souls and certainly their time to by a figure just out of reach but who leaves them hopefully with something more important, hope.

Jared James Nichols, Old Glory And The Wild Revival. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Nobody should ever say to the young that their dreams and aspirations are not worth a dime, the phrase almost borders on child cruelty and deprivation and should be seen as such. To damn any child or teenager to the obscurity and a desire less world seems far too callous and controlling, even if they fail, they should fail under their own terms; not those set out by adults who find only black and white vision the perfect daily partner.
