New Album

Jake and the band will be back in the studio in August to record a Burns album featuring the poet's satirical and political works; The album will be self produced and will feature Dick Gaughan.

BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio Scotland plays

Much to our surprise, BBC radio 2's Mike Harding chose to play the only traditional track the band recorded on their debut album Jake Cogan and The Liberty Roses deeming their version of Rain and Snow 'One of the Greats' and the album as a whole 'Great stuff!'.

Meanwhile Radio Scotland's Iain Anderson and Archie Fisher have both chosen different tracks Tonight and Road Less Travelled respectively - all this two months prior to the official release.

Scotland's most passionate troubadour Dick Gaughan gives his seal of approval, lending kind words...

On rare occasions you realise that what you're listening is what a real singer should be, someone with a direct connection between soul and voice. Jake Cogan is one of those rare few. - Dick Gaughan
