Jacob River Milnes, the Wakefield-raised musician who’s grown into a soulful, mustachioed guitar slinger with a knack for making songs, both his and others’, sound timeless. Instead of trying to speed through as many notes as possible, Milnes was a tasteful player with a sterling tone who reined in any tendency to rush. With accompaniment by a group of young Montrealers, including players on pedal steel and saxophone, the groove was easy and the sound was polished, with a rootsy vibe landing somewhere between Blue Rodeo and Jason Isbell.
