Singer-songwriter Roy Jay released his second album, “Fairfax Avenue,” on August 31, 2010, on Rock Ridge Music. Laced with blues, roots rock, and grittier, more focused, groove-driven flavors than his past work, “Fairfax Avenue” is the follow-up to “Lucky Guy,” an album which ran the musical gamut and drew comparisons to Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Jimmy Buffet. “‘Fairfax Avenue’ is much more the real me,” says Jay. “My first album, ‘Lucky Guy,’ felt like it had sort of a split personality.” On his new album, Jay has found his groove, a gritty and bluesy groove that’s simultaneously easy-going and laid back, perfectly reflecting the life of the man within. It’s an album of self-assured focus, where Jay moves past various influences to become the artist he’s always wanted to be.
The sound that reflects Jay’s life is one of pure, but hard-earned pleasure and fun; of kicking off your shoes, cracking open a beverage, getting your ass out of your seat and boogieing. It’s there in the infectious blues/rock mix of “Love Seed Mama Jump,” portraying a life of carefree good times: “Tuesday’s at the Rudder/Wednesday’s for the hump/Thursday’s in the Starboard/Friday's love seed mama jump.” The horns sing joyously, the organ darts in and out and the background vocals are contagious, all of it carried by Jay’s infectious vocals.
Jay, who is Florida-based, co-wrote all of the music and lyrics on the new record with Chris Seefried (a music veteran who has worked with artists as varied as Quincy Jones and Roseanne Cash). “Fairfax Avenue” also features musical contributions from David Immergluck of the Counting Crows on guitar and Rob Wasserman on bass (who has played with Lou Reed, Bob Weir, and Neil Young, among many others) and co-writing on a track from Tony Lucca.
