When most fans recall Jake E. Lee's playing, it is his stellar, heavy metal-esque style featured on such mid-'80s Ozzy classics as Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin. But aside from hardcore fans, Lee is a bluesy, classic rocker at heart, as evidenced by his work with his post-Ozzy band, Badlands, and especially on his latest solo album, Retraced. Comprised entirely of covers, Lee doesn't go the usual Stones/Zeppelin route, but instead, picks lesser-known songs from his days as a teen playing in bands -- including selections from such outfits as Robin Trower, Johnny Winter, and Trapeze, among others. Reading Lee's notes in the CD booklet, it's surprising to learn that he hadn't picked up his instrument for a year before Shrapnel head Mike Varney convinced him to do the project. The deciding factor for Lee was the rhythm section -- Vanilla Fudge's Tim Bogert on bass and session ace Aynsley Dunbar on drums -- who supports Lee throughout. Ex-Michael Schenker singer Chris Logan handles vocals, and as evidenced by such cuts as "Evil" and "Guess I'll Go Away," Logan gets quite David Coverdale-esque at times. Despite the long fretboard layoff, Lee can still wail away with the best of them, especially on "Way Back to the Bone." For fans of modern-day blues-rock (with, obviously, a classic rock edge), Retraced is definitely recommended. ~ Greg Prato

 Still a great player!
Jake has been around for a long time. Every time I hear something new from him I get chills. Hhis approach is always original even if he is doing cover tunes for this album. His playing is unmistakeable. Get it and enjoy until his next album!

 A complete letdown
I was excited to see Jake back in action, so I picked this up the day it was released. All I can say is "what a major letdown." There's just nothing to get excited about on here.
If you want to hear Jake do his thing, pick up A Fine Pink Mist. That record is truly amazing. It's innovative, fun, and a guitar-fest. This covers album may actually be the first CD I've ever sold back to a store.

Like an old comfortable pair of jeans!!!!
Been a fan of Jake's for many years, & buying this CD & playing it is like slipping into that old pair of jeans - you know the ones - they fit you in all the right places & are the most comfy things you own. Bluesy rock that hits you in the ear-drum & leave you begging for more! My CD player in the truck won't let me take it out.

The result, after hiring Josephine Wiggs (bassist from the seriously underrated Perfect Disaster) and ex-Slint drummer Britt Walford (who took the name Shannon Doughton for his Breeders-related recordings), was the album POD, which ...

Retraced songs
$10.79
Through the course of Cursive's sophomore full-length, listeners get to endure raging tempests, sermons that inquire more than they preach, and finally, a lull with the onset of a new season. With Tim Kasher on guitar/vocals; Matt Maginn on bass; Stephen Pederson on guitar, and Clint Schnase drumming, the Omaha-based band divides its songs into two acts: man vs. nature, and man vs. himself, straying from one-shot efforts on Such Blinding Stars for Starving Eyes and establishing a loosely based concept album. ...
