Take a Bow both closes and opens another chapter in the California native’s life as a songwriter and a man, with songs of loss and hope recorded in a cabin in Arizona. It’s an album that shows a deep understanding of where he’s been personally and unlike a lot of songwriters he’s also able to poke a little fun at himself. Laying himself on the line and taking chances both musically and lyrically, it’s a collection that deserves attention and wide recognition.

After three albums fronting alternative rock band Ours, Jimmy Gnecco has recently made the most personal and affecting album of his career. Self-produced and titled The Heart, it’s a watershed work which sees Jimmy drop his guard and raise the bar. The prevailing mood is one of beautiful melancholy, but The Heart has dignity and integrity in spades. We all have to reckon with loss and the events that have shaped us sooner or later, and this record is Jimmy Gnecco’s compelling attempt to do just that. Its elegant, elegiac songs are slow-growers that get right under the skin.
