Jubal is described as “a western film, a stranger in a strange land, a Jack Russell terrier, and a book of songs. Taylor Kress is the writer and singer for Jubal, but the act has taken many different versions over the years. Hailing from East Tennessee, their music has its roots in the folk songs and sounds of Appalachia.”
