"It's almost as if his parents foresaw that he would be destined to make lush americana at his birth and named him accordingly."
"Jethro is on the verge of creating a new genre: soul-americana."
"Dream and Be Safe" immediately caught my attention. A gentle, warm song, built around a perfect little note progression, with haunting vocal harmonies, it is 101 seconds of pure bliss.
