Laid-back Soul and Blues
com m ercial success in 1976 with
"Silk Degrees." Featuring a soar­
ing, soulful voice that Rolling
Stone said "could easily hold its
own on any street corner in New
York," the album reached N o.2on
the pop charts and featured hits
lik e "L o w d o w n " an d "L id o
Shuffle."
Like S caggs, Jaco b s-S train
flexed his musical muscles at a
very young age. At 9, he pur­
chased a guitar at a garage sale
and becam e enraptured with the
folk scene o f his hom etow n of
Eugene.
A fter seeing a Taj Mahal co n ­
cert, Jacobs-Strain gravitated to ­
ward the blues. He released his
first album, "Skin and Bones,"
w hile still in high school.
Tickets for the concert can be
purchased at the O regon Zoo for
$24 each.
Tickets can also be purchased
