ORVIS, JAYKE - Bless This Mess (Sealed) (LP)

The second solo album from JAYKE ORVIS, founding member of the .357 STRING BAND and member of the fantastic GODDAMN GALLOWS! Jayke Orvis is an amazing talent, with a style that should be able to bridge the gap between standard country fans and the alt country scene. It's no surprise that Saving Country Music named him the "Artist of the Year" based on the strength of It's All Been Said. He provides brilliant instrumentation, mixing a guitar, mandolin, bass and dobro into a richly layered sound that belies his trashy, stoner persona.
