We\’re pasting in a review of the album, that just appeared in the Chicago Free Press. Check this out:
Reviewer: Gregg Shapiro – Jan 7/09
\”Rufus Wainwright, as well as k.d. lang…. are among the Canadians making essential and beautiful music. Add the name Jeffery Straker to that list. Straker’s strong and playful vocals combined with his considerable songwriting talents make his debut album \”Step Right Up\” (jeffstraker.com) an invitation that’s nearly impossible to resist. Straker stakes his claim on wondrous numbers such as \”Hypnotized,\” \”Flat Lines,\” \”Slippery Slope\” and the super gay \”Tykie’s Comin’ Out.\” …..Jeffery Straker promotes a delectable brand of pop\”
