After spending a mellow 2018 at home, Jamestown Revival will hit the road again in April, drumming up anticipation for the summertime release of the duos third album, San Isabel.
Co-produced by bandmates Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance, along with former Nathaniel Rateliff collaborator Jamie Mefford, San Isabel returns Jamestown Revival to the rootsy, acoustic-driven sounds of their 2014 debut, Utah. Nowhere is that more evident than in the bright harmonies and loping guitar patterns of This Too Shall Pass, an optimistic track that splits the difference between modern-day Americana and old-school folk. (The duo also released a live performance video of the song.)
This Too Shall Pass is very much a Simon and Garfunkel inspired tune, says Chance, whose band released another San Isabel track the anxious, topical Crazy World (Judgement Day) last month. It is the idea that hard times will find us all, but in order to endure them, we must sometimes seek the wisdom and encouragement of our loved ones and generations before us. Its easy to think that the uncertain road in front of us is the worst to come, when the truth is, there have always been hardships and unsettling times. This Too Shall Pass is the glass is half full approach to uncertainty and the opposite side of the coin from Crazy World (Judgement Day). Its about growth as a result of overcoming adversity.
