“ "Death Row" nails it as a pedal-to-the-metal rocker a la John Moreland's "Everything the Hard Way", but the acoustic version's forlorn steel guitar makes the song less defiant and more hopeless.”
““12 Fret Nights” finds Jeff in a career sweet spot, showing younger artists where they should be headed by lighting the way.”
“ '12 Packs and 8 Tracks and Black & White TV", is a soundtrack not just for the journey but for the experience of being lost. Of having faith not because miracles abound but because it’s the only thing you have left.”
Buy Jeff and the Boys a cup of coffee or just leave them a tip! Thanks

"12 Packs, 8 Tracks And Black & White TV" by Jeff German & The Blankety Blanks
If you were to get lost while driving through a somewhat familiar ghost town, and you happened upon an old white church whose paint was chipping off, Jeff German’s music would be playing inside. His new record, "12 Packs, 8 Tracks And Black & White TV," is a soundtrack not just for the journey but for the experience of being lost. Of having faith not because miracles abound but because it’s the only thing you have left.
