Taking a cue from the almighty
Zeppelin on the numerical album title,
Zebra bestows a most un-Leded offering.
3.V is mastermind
Randy Jackson's last-ditch effort to conquer civilization through his New Orleans power trio; a wise and distinct musical mural depicting the delectable joy of living beyond drugs and despair. The insular production (along with
Hanemann's keys) may be off-putting, but once inside
3.V,
"He's Making You the Fool," "Your Mind's Open," "Better Not Call," and
"Hard Living Without You" rank as some of the best songs ever written in any regard. Following
Geddy Lee's lead,
Jackson tones down his banshee wail and delicately weaves these masterworks around his powerful pipes, resulting in a (shudder) heavy metal
Bee Gees (much cooler than that sounds).
Jackson scats, scolds and soars, always keeping things tight. Like the deceptively simple title indicates,
3.V has that certain something extra: more than an album,
3.V opens the mind of an unheralded genius. ~ Doug Stone
