Earlier this month beloved Baltimore singer-guitarist Cris Jacobs<\/strong> and animator KC Corbett <\/strong>released their new music video for Jacobs\u2019 cover of Blind Melon<\/strong>\u2019s quintessential hit \u201cNo Rain.\u201d<\/p>\n

 Jacobs\u2019 rootsy, blues-infused acoustic take on the song is transported into the world of a robot working a monotonous job in a cubicle, dreaming of frolicking in expansive nature.<\/p>\n

 \u201cIt\u2019s a song we both grew up with, and I just came up with this version on the spot and laid it down,\u201d Jacobs says. \u201cKC came up with this video concept, and it became a very moving interpretation of the song.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deftly capturing the juxtaposition of the whimsical, bare-bones recording and poignant lyrics, Corbett draws on universal themes of corporate job pressures, loneliness, emotional well-being, and pursuing one\u2019s passions \u2013 themes that resonate with many of us.  This theme equally resonates with Corbett, having recently left a nine-to-five job to pursue his artistry, and with Jacobs, who has chosen a life as a touring musician.<\/p>\n

 \u201cCris perfectly captures the contrast of a beloved rock song from the \u201990s with these lyrics about isolation,\u201d Corbett says. \u201cI wanted to create a direct comparison to our world from the point of view of someone who is in the gears of the machine, but having this fantastical break from reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

 One might not expect such a futuristic video for an acoustic song, but Jacobs\u2019 pulsating finger-picking serves as the perfect rhythmic backdrop to Corbett\u2019s assembly line scenes and robot daydreams.  For those of us that have seen Jacobs perform live. we can see Jacobs sitting in a chair and tenderly picking away on his cherished cigar box guitar.<\/p>\n

Cris has packed his guitars up and taken his namesake band back out on the road for his Fall Tour 2022 including three DMV shows. <\/p>\n
