PRODUCT DETAILS
Nashville's Jess Kerber first picked up a guitar at the age of 12, and her precocious drive to experiment with different tunings and picking styles - influenced by kindred spirits like Joni Mitchell and Susan Tedeschi - led to the development of a unique sonic palette and authentic, personal approach to songwriting. Inspired equally by her upbringing in Louisiana and studies at Boston's Berklee College of Music, debut album From Way Down Here highlights the dynamism and depth of her gorgeous voice and thoughtful, humanistic lyrics, as well as the refined intricacy of her guitar playing.While developing many of these compositions at early live performances in and around Boston and Cambridge, Kerber encountered fellow songwriter Will Orchard, who quickly became a partner and collaborator in the genesis of their recording. Orchard's production prowess and multi-instrumental talents push Kerber's arrangements to a new level of fullness, while retaining the disarming purity and emotion of the main elements, in a dynamic akin to that of renowned contemporaries Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Nodding to the traditions of Americana, the two artists - along with mixing engineer Charlie Dahlke of The Brazen Youth - have created their own subgenre that is at once intimate and universal, comforting and raw.Across the album, Kerber's rich, velvety tenor assumes a deep tenderness and warmth, while varying arrangements of pedal steel, Wurlitzer, drums, and ambient guitar create the surrounding shimmer. The influence of her upbringing - and what she lovingly calls the "way apart from the rest of the world feeling" of the Deep South - shines through in the honest, straightforward, and timeless qualities of her composition. About her process, Kerber notes, "The most important thing is to lean into intuition, and when I was working with Will on these songs, it was so much fun that I almost forgot we were making a record." Fittingly, From Way Down Here is the rare debut that shows all the fully-formed hallmarks of a seasoned songwriter, and across it's varied environments, she constructs a compelling world of raw beauty and truth, whose spell remains long after the final notes fade.

Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
