THE COUNTRY SONGWRITER BEARS TESTIMONY TO THE POWER OF STORYTELLING WITH HER LIFE-AFFIRMING SECOND ALBUM, WILDERNESS
Jade Jackson is brought to you today by coffee, lots of coffee. The Californian country singer is sitting in the très chic Hoi Polloi brasserie that sits under London’s painfully hip Ace Hotel. She’s holding a napkin and an ice cube, trying to remove some chewing gum off her trousers, and is right now having a glass of water to restore equilibrium. Disorientation and caffeine dependence is what becomes of you if you straddle too many time zones, and Jackson has arrived in town via mainland Europe to talk about Wilderness, an album that in many respects speaks for itself. Jackson puts a vibrant rock spin on her sound but she is a storyteller in the great country tradition, most comfortable when exploring the unclaimed territory between all that’s bittersweet and the importance of being resolute.
