JEFF KLEIN
See Jeff Klein live this Summer
“Recording in New Orleans influenced everything about this record,” Jeff Klein says of his new album, The Hustler. The disc, Klein’s third, features contributions from Ani DiFranco, Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner and Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers auteur Greg Dulli, who co-produced the disc with Mike Napolitano (Blind Melon, Joseph Arthur) in an atmosphere befitting Jeff’s darkly sexy, sometimes disturbingly intimate songs.
“It’s such a rich, diverse culture,” Jeff recalls of his New Orleans sojourn. “Between music and food and religion, it makes the hair on your arms stand up when you’re walking down the street. You feel the electricity in the air. It just makes you feel more creative. And there’s so much decadence: It’s so frightening and so amazing and jaw dropping at the same time. And it’s the only city in the whole world where a guy can get laid for playing the tuba.”
“Broken hearted genius for anyone who needs more than a dashboard confession on their dusty path”
– Uncut Magazine
“Everybody Loves A Winner – a powerful, often unhappy lullaby that is magnetic from start to finish”
– Rolling Stone
“…Maturity of songwriting, and a kind of stoical grace. Everbody Loves A Winner has both in spades”
– Mojo
Austin based singer songwriter Jeff Klein has released the most compelling work of his career to date with “Everybody Loves A Winner”. Produced by Matthew Ryan, and featuring back up vocals by Patty Griffin, the album has received extraordinary critical acclaim.
