Finnish groovy trad rockers, Jackie’s Land, are releasing their new born debut album later this month. ‘Fortune & Fame’ is the last 4th single with a nice warm vintagey Black Crowes, Rolling Stones vibe, groovy riffs and a great chorus.

‘Fortune & Fame’ starts with some easygoing open tuned electric guitar which delivers nice warm “vintagey” vibes with hints from bands like the Black Crowes and even the Rolling Stones. After the peaceful intro the song rolls into a grooving main riff and some true to the style slide guitar licks. Like the earlier single releases ‘Fortune & Fame’ also delivers a nice and crisp sounding old-school rock song with a groovy main riff and a melodic chorus that’s guaranteed to stick in your head for the rest of the day.
“I guess the message of the song is kind of self-explanatory and represents our attitude quite well; we’re not here for the fortune or the fame but just want to do our own thing as best as we can and have fun while doing it. With this song we had a pretty strong sense how we wanted the finished track to sound like, and producer Jussi Vuola really did a great job with capturing those sounds.” says guitarist Jouni Möysä.
Along with the song there’s a high-quality music video the band made with videographer and film maker Petri Vilen. “We wanted to make a video that represents us as a band and has a feel-good attitude. Standing in front of a green screen looking serious and grouchy with our instruments didn’t really feel natural for us so we decided to go the other way and do something totally different. The basic idea for the plot came to us pretty easily somewhat through the song title. Together with Petri Vilen we crafted the screenplay, and the finished video is something way beyond all our expectations.” says the singer Ilmiö with a grin on his face.
