Dave Schramm-produced long-player to hit streets January 25, 2011 NEW YORK, N.Y.—Hoboken singer/songwriter Kate Jacobs found herself itchy to get out and play and write and sing and hang with her musician pals again. After busy and productive years of recording and touring—she put out four albums on the indie Bar/None label—the sweet appeal of life with two small children had overtaken her.

I had never heard of him before but a friend of mine was sure that a good time would follow. The start of the show was an eye-opener.

This is not the teary-eyed, sensitive singer-songwriter that's sadly become LaMontagne's soundbite, but it is part of a complex artist who keeps ...
