Occasionally at gigs he would sell homemade discs, but they were random and not professionally recorded. At long last he bit the bullet and went into the studio and the end result is Mistaken Identity, a thoroughly entertaining, sonically accurate, and well-produced CD. With musical help from friends: Keith Munslow, Serena Andrews, Chris Monti, Sarah Dawson, Pamela Murray, Daniel Oullette, Sarah Dawson, Ron Pigeon, Bridget Dignan, Sonny Roelle, and Jon Windle. Haller created a comfortable recording of his quirky, offbeat, and from the heart compositions. I sometimes refer to Jacob Haller as a sort of Burl Ives type musician\/character with a twist. Haller sings in a rich baritone voice and accompanies himself on guitar (sometimes accordion) and sings songs that come across as traditional type folk songs, at least for the first few lines. Therein lies the twist. They then stray into another realm. The opening track of the disc, \"Stale Tequila,\" one of three songs that are products of the RI Songwriters in the Round Series at AS220, starts off simply singing about meeting a woman after a bar gig and falling in love. The next morning he woke up in a bathtub of ice with a missing kidney. The second song on the CD is the first song that he wrote for the RISA series and he \"was deathly afraid that the other songwriters would come up with the same take on that month's theme, \"Childhood Memories.\" Not likely. Jake's take on things are definitely all his own. \"Photo Album,\" the song written for the Childhood Memories theme, is sweetly sung as it talks about the memories that photos bound in an album of human skin hold: \"Here's a picture when you became ole Satan's bride, there you were all dressed in black, Satan nervous at the back you were such a lovely couple and your ma and me both cried, it's amazing how you've grown since then.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"I'm a Guy\" pays homage to the Muddy Waters' song, \"I'm a Man.\" The difference between the two is that Jake's \"guy\" knits and likes \"chick-flicks.\" You will frequently see Jake sitting in an audience knitting. Jake's live performances are pretty true to the recording, with the exception of the extra instruments and backing vocals peppered throughout. But Jake has plenty of friends that sit in and audiences like to sing-a-long, so that makes up the difference. Haller is quiet and assuming in his delivery and that makes these gems shine the brighter. And the listener laughs harder. You'll sing along to \"Watching Killer Robots Eat Your Head\" and \"Whenever I am Sad I Do a Web Search for Pictures of Adorable Kittens.\" -- Motif Magazine, November 4, 2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jacob Haller","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":47591881474326,"sku":"74277","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/products\/202041420426535.jpg?v=1708797908","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/jacob-haller-mistaken-identity","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
