NO DEPRESSION: “…this idiosyncratic songwriter can handle types of heavy lifting that many others frankly can’t.”
ROLLING STONE: “…Jake LaBotz turns paranoia into a haunting, Tom Waits-worthy piece of cabaret Americana with “They’re Coming for Me,” the title track from his newest solo effort. He delivers his lyrics like a method actor, imbuing each line with a mix of theatricality and wild, wide-eyed believability.”
GLIDE: “This album has staying power. It’s a good kind of weird.”
AMERICANA HIGHWAYS: “Resplendent storytelling, street tales, juke joint humid air & a pinch of unusual twists… (La) Botz lyrics are beautifully creative.”
AMERICAN SONGWRITER: “It’s surely a mixed bag but in a creative way where Sutton’s subtle and layered production pulls you into each tune. He adds just enough mojo to La Botz’s already idiosyncratic persona to qualify this as the singer’s best album, even with—or perhaps because of– its many offbeat qualities. Hopefully it’s the one to finally get La Botz the recognition he deserves.”
INK 19: “Jake’s music is rooted in blues and Americana with absolutely no fidelity to tradition. He’s happy warping expectations, seriously making music that doesn’t take anything too seriously. They’re Coming For Me covers a lot of emotional territory, from Noir paranoia to absurdist comedy.”
