Album Description

Jeremy Chatelaine is best known as the man behind the bass in the ever-popular Jets To Brazil, so most people aren't aware that he is also a talented singer and songwriter in his own right. As Cub Country, Jeremy showcases his talents and affection for country-tinged rock blues (think acoustic Led Zeppelin, Paul Mc Cartney, and Willie Nelson hashing it out in a Brooklyn tenement), creating a broad canvas for his tales of love lost and found. Recorded in Jeremy's apartment with help from his friends, 'High Uinta High' features a revolving cast of guests that include his fellow band mates in Jets To Brazil, J Majesty, Nick Macri (Euphone), Theo Kogan (Lunachicks), John Herguth (The Love Scene), and Chris Traynor (Helmet, Orange 9mm). Jade Tree Records.

4 out of 5 stars Spirit of the west........2002-12-25

This album is pretty good but there are a few flaws.

First of all this album captures the spirit of the western united states very well. Its very good to listen to on road trips and such. The songs are easy to sing along to and the song are catchy too. I would describe it as Acoustic folk/country.

This album is rediculously simple, the songs are written well, but the guitarist uses all your basic chords in all the songs. This is a good thing but i think he could of added some other more interesting chord changes and melodys but generally for this style of music its good to keep simple. There are good mixes of faster and slower songs in it too.

This album sounds simular to Hayden and has a very lonely feel to it. It makes you realize the beauty of nature but also makes you feel lonely.
I would check it out if i were you.

4 out of 5 stars Nifty little country/blues rock LP.......2002-09-23

Those who bought High Uinta High solely because "that Jets to Brazil" guy made it are going to be in for a surprise. Jeremy Chatelaine has completely abandoned the post-punk sound of JtB in favor of a more laid back basic country sound. What may then suprise listeners even more? It's really, really good.

Despite each song using the same basic acoustic sounds (with exception going to the oddly satisfying "Butterfly"), each track still manages to its own distinctive qualities.

The songs are mellow and quiet, vaguely reminiscent of some of the "Electro-Shock Blues" era Eel's better slow tracks. The melodies are comforting, and the lyrics are simple and happy.

The only song that get lost in the mix is the traditional folk cover of "Faithful Soldier", only because it sounds as if it were produced on a lower volume than the rest of the record (though there is something alluring about its beat). The highlight easily goes to the final track "Hollow Sidewalks" which incorporates key changes in a way it sounds as if two songs were cut to pieces, than interchanged with each other into a spectacularly simple epic song.

To the post-punk indie-rockers out there, you might want to give a track or two a listen before you buy (a few mp3s are available on the Jade Tree website). Should you like what you hear off those two tracks, then I would recommend High Uinta High, which will deliver as well as the two downloads will.
