Guitars permeate the album but never dominate.
John Cooke and Dave Burris share vocal and guitar duties, blending together well. Peter Holsapple, formerly of the DB's, contributes keyboards on several songs, providing much needed redemption and resolution. Following up their debut release, Hell's Half Acre , Jolene wasted no time getting down to business. Just days after signing a major label deal with Sire Records, Jolene picked up and barricaded themselves into a Montreal studio. Paring down their songs from 16 new ones and several studio inspired tracks, Jolene culled together 14 songs for In the Gloaming .
