Jack Ingram: Country Star at J&R on March 16

With his bar-room country songs infused with a devil-may-care rock ‘n’ roll attitude, Jack Ingram often sounds like a more accessible (read: less political) version of Steve Earle, with his slightly raspy voice and charming honky-tonk swagger. Ingram’s latest CD release, Live Wherever You Are, presents the Texan country-rocker in concert on his home turf backed by his Beat Up Ford Band. The performance is at 12:30 pm on Thur. March 16 at the J&R Pop Store 23 Park Row, 1st Floor. Directions.

Jack Ingram left his "Beat-Up Ford Band" in Texas but brought his beat-up Taylor guitar and performed a Billy Joe Shaver song and three of his own, including "Wherever You Are", currently number 11 on Billboard's Country Singles Chart. Bringing the denim look and wide sky images of West Texas, Jack personably joked with the appreciative audience, "it's a lot different coming to New York to open for Sheryl Crow than to come up here to play an in-store, but I'm glad to be here playing music for ya'll". Jack commendably honored his scheduled J&R; appearance even though his joint concert with Sheryl was postponed to June. I was glad to have this taste of Country in the middle of a downtown workday.</img>
