Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Somewhere in Colorado is a super-creative artist, Jay Stott that has a sound that is firmly rooted in Americana with a prominent influence of classic rock. From a distance, you get the impression of a seasoned, musical genius who knows his way around several instruments. “Wreckage of Now” is Jay’s second album and is one that will keep you glued to your speakers. The first track is the title track, “Wreckage of Now” that is catchy and high tempo. It’s that signature Americana sound that Jay is known for. The influences of rock are there, but you can tell this is a guy that knows his music and his demographics. The crossover is however well tempered that the appeal is broader than expected. “All Night Long” continues the overall mood of the album by telling a story of love and life on a vibrant beat that you can dance to on a Friday night with your neighbors.

Look out for songs like “Electric Guy” and “Dying in Droves” to experience the full gamut of feels that Jay brings to this amazing album.
This is a nice album to have on a weekend to chill with friends and family.
