Fans of Johnny Cash will love Joe Savage, a man who “considers himself a perennial sideman, having spent his long career as a member of many bands and the guy backing up a ton of very talented people. But wait a minute, this guy not only plays the steel guitar of all types, harmonica and a goofy percussion thing he calls the “kitchen sink”, but he sings, too. And all of it, from the heart. As someone in the audience once yelled out, ‘Joe’s got soul.’ “ His voice does, indeed, carry soul; as well as a nice blend of barroom confidence and humble plainspokenness, which are often hard to reconcile. "Jackpot" is a sweet little song comparing his love to, of course, a jackpot; and the song carries a nice consistent slew of gambling metaphors in the simple, upbeat, southern guitar-and-vocals of Cash. She wore white, satin jeans and a brown, leather belt One look in her direction and the whole world melts, tell me who was the dealer when your cards were dealt I hit the jackpot with you.

"Jackpot" would be an excellent theme song for

A scene at a poker table

"Jackpot" is reminiscent of well-known artists such as

Johnny Cash

When listening to "Jackpot" I am transported to

Nashville
