With an iconic chorus line that you’ve surely heard, Jeff Lake invokes lyrics that are universal and ecstatic on “Midnight Sun” with such a spark and expressiveness that you can’t help but yearn to sing along with this folksy Americana artist. It feels like a seamless blend of so many sounds, a punchy hard rock drum pattern with swerving electric elements, a wonderful acoustic arrangement, and a chorus that just bleeds folk and Americana that even the most ardent opposer to country music can’t help but start grooving out to.
“hey ho” indeed, as Jeff Lake sings along and you start joining in kind. With this seamless bluegrass integration into the overall arrangement, he creates something that feels wholly grounded and simultaneously rich and lustrous. It’s addictive as hell if nothing else, but endearing and fun without a shadow of doubt. Sing along to the “Midnight Sun”.
