Vocal powerhouse and PLATINUM-selling singer/songwriter Jackson Dean released his third studio album, ‘Magnolia Sage', via Blue Highway Records recently.
An eclectic collection of songs that move from sweeping to soothing, rocking to ruminative, the 11-track project creates a sound that is singularly Jackson Dean: alive, vital, frisky, sexy and rugged.
“As an artist, you’re supposed to be writing and singing about what you’re living, and that’s exactly what I did with this record. Between my woman, my cabin, my dog and the coolest job on the planet, I have everything that I’ve ever dreamed of in the palm of my hand,” shares Dean. “At its core, this is a record for the muses and the ones that you love, and I hope listeners are able to see their own lives in it.”
The story of ‘Magnolia Sage' is told through two distinct, rich narrative lenses, with each of the tracks fitting into one of the two worlds: Magnolia or Sage. Magnolia evokes vivid scenes of the Southeast and East Coast, sonically defined by heavy bass that booms and R&B influence that romances, while the stories and sounds of Sage transport listeners to the inherent restlessness and vast landscapes of the West. From the sweltering Magnolia moments of “5th Of July,” “Tennessee Moon” and “Hey Mississippi,” to the restless pull of Sage on “Wildfire,” “Blacktop Blues” and “Heart On The Range,” Dean delivers a cinematic record that feels both deeply personal and universal. There’s a slow-burning sexiness throughout, with steel guitars rolling through more restrained tracks, B3 organ rising like steam and vocals that drive the songs rather than simply ride them. Whether magnolia or sage, east or west, soft or bold, the thread that holds the tapestry of Dean’s vision together is the steady influence of his longtime muse.
