Bob Jeter has been writing and recording music for many years. Born in Virginia, he is currently based in Atlanta, GA, where he releases music under his name Bob Jeter and also under the band name Jeter n the Jets. Jeter grew up falling in love with the great sounds of the ‘70s, with a special penchant for the blues. The artist has performed and toured throughout the USA as well as Europe. His most recent release Along for the Ride is an EP filled with great sounds. Jeter definitely gives his all into these rambunctious tunes as he coos and belts out the lyrics with absolute gusto. The revving instrumentals in the background also bring in some great energy and I thought every second of this record was packed full of some great flavors and vibes.
Along for the Ride opens up with “Gravy Train,” where some great rock vibes come into the start of this track. There was some blues to this gritty song which I thought was great. Jeter’s vocals come in full-throttle. He throws everything he has into the music for a happening vibe. I loved the energy here. From beginning to end, this was bursting at the seams with some great flavors and vibes. The sax and funky bass also sound great here. On the title track “Along For The Ride,” some more great sax flavors flow through this recording. Next, Jeter’s singing comes in for a simmering sound. The vibe here felt more slow burning than the last number. Some keys also reel you in for a sauntering vibe. This track reminded me of music from the ‘70s and ‘80s. More moving sounds come from Jeter and the band on “High Time.” The band’s performance and delivery here was on-point. Jeter also takes command for a revved performance. On “Wonder Of You,” some classic rock and blues come in for an energized sound. I loved the gritty vibe of this song as some bustling blues come into the mix. There were some great horns that’ll really draw you into the sound. Starting off with some great vibes from the harmonica is “Right To Right (For Love).” The bombastic sound coming from the instrumentals will draw you in even closer. Jeter’s vocals are packed full of energy and I was loving every second of it. The organ proved to be a great addition here. Some groovy tunes come in for a funk-filled fun-loving romp of a good ole time on “Birmingham.” I liked the smooth and sauntering tunes here. This proved to be a cool closer from the band. Right out of the gates, Jeter comes right at you with his enthusiasm for life. This excitement is so contagious, you’ll be feeling it right away in the introducing notes. There’s no doubt about it, Jeter definitely has something here. With a little bit of everything here for everyone, you get some The Eagles, with touches of Neil Young, Ed Sheeran and Bruce Springsteen in the mix. Don’t miss out. Be sure you explore this happening and revved EP. You’ll definitely be better for it!
