~ "Down By The Lake" Song Review ~

Jason has enjoyed steady success from his previous releases, and there's no reason to suggest that "Down by the lake" won't do the same.  Jason is a master storyteller whose songs evoke all kind of emotions, mostly the tender sentiments having to do with love, loss and longing.   Jason’s go to has always been his full-sounding, big-bodied voice, and that remains intact here throughout this new original song he wrote.  His voice is front and center (that's apparent from the first words out of his mouth with his country drawl even through the anthemic chorus) and has a warmth about it as well.  This new song confirms Jason’s brilliance as a songwriter, filled as it is with infectious tunes and with lyrics that capture the ups and downs of life and often reveal the little mysteries that lie just beneath life's surface.  Jason will has us all believing – “there’s only in place for us….Down by the Lake”.
