Cris Jacobs Debuts DUST TO GOLD Ahead of Release

Cris Jacobs enchants listeners with his inspired songwriting and soulfully transcendent voice. He will release Dust to Gold this Friday via American Showplace Music but today, Wide Open Country has the exclusive full album stream for all to enjoy ahead of the release.

Jacobs has harnessed over a decade of trans-genre exploration on his sophomore solo album and Wide Open Country applauds, "On Dust to Gold, Jacobs draws from the past and present and comes into full maturity as an artist."

Cris' performance for NPR's Mountain Stage is currently airing and archived HERE, just in time for his fall tour, which starts this Wednesday, October 19 at American Beauty in NYC. A full list of tour dates can be found below.

On Dust to Gold, Jacobs' gritty, lyrical guitar playing and honeyed whiskey croon convey thoughtful songs about love, hope, death, birth, regret, and salvation seeking. Through every turn, one feels his reverence to soul, blues, country, gospel, and rock and roll, but the result is an original, eclectic record with a sound authentically his.
