The Swedish multi-instrumentalist 'Jay Smith' has just released his 4th album 'Young Guns'. The turn in his last album 'King of Man' is confirmed with this opus, that is to say, after a period rock/hard-rock, it's a style decidedly country/rock he offers us in the great tradition of America. Everything is done to have a good time with effective and melodic compositions, starting with 'My Everything' and its refrain that goes right into your head, then 'Ten Feet off the Ground' with arrangements reminiscent of western music continues in this direction, and 'Roots' brings a little more rock side while keeping this country atmosphere. The following alternates calmer compositions in the form of beautiful ballads like 'Wild Roses', 'God Damn You', 'Closing Time' which is a beautiful duet with 'Minnah' and others more energetic and always catchy like the beautiful mid-tempo 'Young Guns', 'Lucky Strike' or 'Rocky Ride'. In summary, 'Jay Smith', even if it does not revolutionize the country/rock style, released a quality album with very accessible compositions and with, it should be noted, an irreproachable production : 'Young Guns' should please an audience that loves the country style perpetuated by a large number of American artists...
