"Mr. Right Now" by Jubal John

ARCA member Jubal "John" Dalzell is releasing his debut album "Mr Right Now" today. It is being released on all formats including cd and vinyl. It’s available at local independent record stores, online at Cdbaby, Itunes, Amazon, Spotify, Pandora, Youtube etc.

It took about 2 and a half years to make and was recorded right here in Birmingham at Wild Honey Studio (named after the Beach Boys song). "Mr Right Now" features ten originals by Jubal done in a variety of styles already drawing comparisons to Elvis Costello, Ray Davis, The Beatles and Steve Earle.

You can go to jubaljohn.com for more info and to hear samples. The first single is "Cupid's Pink Slip" (kind of a slight follow up to Sam Cooke's "Cupid") which will be accompanied by a video shot by Wild Honey's Tym Cornell who is also Jubal's music engineer.
