King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, and Jimmie Vaughan, starting at his hometown’s legendary club Antone’s.

: "...When Andrews was eight years old, he sat in with an impressed Albert King at Antone’s blues club and by the time he hit puberty he’d played with such Texas blues greats as Long John Hunter, Grey Ghost, T.D. Bell, and Jimmie Vaughan. He subsequently recorded with Guitar Shorty, Jerry McCain, Manfred Mann’s Paul Jones, and others. For his sixth solo album, he enlists producer Carla Olson.... The title track shows Andrews’ facility without gratuitous showboating, and the whole set has an immediate, live feel....Covers of “Apricot Brandy” and “Burning of the Midnight Lamp” are welcome inclusions, and illustrates that Jake is indeed a mature artist.”

“Turning countless heads with electrifying guitar playing and soulful singing, Jake Andrews has been front and center of the Austin Scene for more than half of his 19 years. Steeped in the Texas blues tradition of Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan, “Time to Burn’s” mix of guitar pyrotechnics, fiery vocals and powerful new songs confirms that Jake Andrews is already blazing new paths with the torch he’s been passed.”
