WCBS-FM in New York which added Jack to replace its longtime classic rock format in June 2005 went back to oldies in mid-July. In Los Angeles KCBS-FM's Jack format fell to third in Arbitron's April-June ratings period after ranking as the top English-language station in the market for seven of eight books among adults 25-54. Wall however said the WCBS format flip represented a political decision by CBS Radio to return to a familiar format not a failure of the Jack FM brand which he said averaged about 1. 2 million listeners in New York during the spring book.

The musicians are steeped in the classic rock blues and folk traditions. “This Is Somewhere? is a satisfyingly rich and diverse album.
