A young Jeremy spent 7 years in stalled record deals and felt like his writing was getting him nowhere at one time. Then in 2011 he decided not to write anymore and put his life and career where it needed to be – in his hands and in the hands of his fans. Thanks to his fans and Kickstarter.com, a place where fans can fund an artist, he decided to produce his first debut CD “My Side of Town”. For the first time Jeremy felt like his path was once again his own, not one designed by large labels and producers. He has taken the reins once again with this new album and is forging ahead on his own, taking his own risks, reaping his own rewards and living his life the way he intended it. “LEAP” really means taking the plunge in anything one does in life – taking the risk and just doing it and waiting for the net to appear!
Jeremy McComb can be found in Nashville mostly at The Wheel on Lower Broadway and the next time I’m in Nashville I will be looking for him! His new venture, “Leap and the Net Will Appear”, available now on iTunes, is a collection of his works in a 7-song CD.
The CD opens with a rift of Bluegrass and fun, then breaks into “Unstable” – a collective song of instabilities within himself. He calls himself a “helluva good time when the whiskey tastes right”. He talks about getting wild, running hot then cold, and being like the dirt in California earthquakes. He sounds like a good time to me – a little bit of a crazy musical artist!!
“5 to Midnight” is a ballad about breaking up and losing love. It’s about what goes wrong in relationships. Did we let love die? Sometimes it takes the kind of mess people make to open up their eyes. It’s a good look into serious relationships and how things go wrong and maybe making one more try. This song is thought-provoking for anyone in any kind of a relationship – the ones going bad and trying to save it, and the good ones – making sure you don’t make a mess of it. Good song!
The album included “She Doesn’t Sing”, “Time”, “Sugar Cane”, “Easy as Breathin’” and “What A Daddy’s Gonna Say”. Jeremy can be found on iTunes, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and MySpace as well as his own page at http://www.jeremymccomb.com/. If you are close to Nashville or in town, stop in at the Wheel when he is there and enjoy the show!
