Jr. Gone Wild - Still Got The Jacket

by Jr. Gone Wild

supported by

Scotty I waited 26 years for this album, and it was worth ever second. It’s got twangy angst, upbeat road songs, a little one-two-fuck you aggression, but mostly it has a whole lot of earnest heart. Really, something for everybody. It’s a long 16 track album, but not a single song is filler. Cheap at twice the price.

catfishkempster This is such a good album, from such a great band. Mike McDonald created a real gem here, and it sounds fresh - you'd never know that there was more than a decade since the last Jr. Gone Wild album Favorite track: Old and Ugly.

shyningbear listening to old and ugly and lovin it!

about

Jr Gone Wild - Still Got The Jacket - (weewerk)073

Release Date: – Digital / CD Release on November 12, 2021 – Double Gatefold LP Release on March 11, 2022

For 12 years starting in the 1980s Jr. Gone Wild would hone its own version of alt-country on albums that have become cornerstones of Canadian music culture: Less Art, More Pop!, Folk You, Too Dumb To Quit, Pull The Goalie and Simple Little Wish. After a reunion concert in 2013 the band began thinking about a new album, reflective of all they’ve learned and experienced over a lifetime in the music biz. The result is Still Got The Jacket, a 16 track album that makes it clear that the band’s chemistry still thrives, and is still steeped in twangy rock and melodic country-punk. For fans hearing the power pop of “Dodge” and “Girl In The Crowd,” it’s as if no time has passed, while the raucous energy that fueled so many beer-soaked nights still glows brightly on “Him Or Me (What’s It Gonna Be)” and “Old And Ugly”.

Now with McDonald’s nephew Quinton Herbert on drums, replacing drummer Larry Shelast who passed away in 2019,

the band is still fronted by the immediately recognizable vocals of Mike McDonald, lead guitarist Steve Loree and bassist Dave “Dove” Brown. A stand-out track on the album is a cover of “Fly At Night” that features the original Chilliwack founder Bill Hendersen recreating the memorable guitar riffs from one of his most beloved songs.

As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H
