Musical missionary, tireless troubadour and producer Jack Klatt isn’t one to be easily categorized or relegated to a narrow niche. He is a man with a wizened and worldly perspective, and a timeless sensibility of both place and purpose. His upcoming album It Ain’t The Same reflects a reverential attitude, but adds a depth and devotion that ensures its contemporary credence. With Klatt himself singing, playing guitar and sitting in the producer’s chair, it boasts the talents of session players John James Tourville (The Deslondes) on electric guitar and pedal steel, Casey McDonough (NRBQ) on bass, Alex Hall (JD McPherson, The Cactus Blossoms, Robbie Fulks) on drums, percussion, keys and engineering and Page Burkum’s harmonies. It Ain’t The Same is, as its title suggests, something truly special.
