Jet Black & Jealous
Eli Young Band (Republic Nashville/Universal Republic)

What do you get when you cross Rascal Flatts pop sensibility, Pat Green songwriting, and Led Zeppelin guitar solos with a heaping helping of Texas bravado? Why, the latest and greatest CD from the Eli Young Band, of course.
Jet Black & Jealous, the band’s third studio album and fourth overall, is an alt-country-rock masterpiece. From the melodic lilt of “When It Rains” to the vibrant passion of “Always the Love Songs” to the hard-grooving pulse of “Throw and Go,” this record shines. In all 12 tracks, you hear the musical maturity that only comes from paying dues in bars and clubs. And to think all this came from sharing a dorm room and a dream at college.
