Jackson C. Frank

Jackson C. Frank has one of those life stories that when you hear him sing "Blues Run the Game," you believe it for him. Blues did run his game.

Even though he has passed, I feel like his music is poised to get rediscovered in a big way. (I discovered him through Vincent Gallo's Brown Bunny.)
I think this may happen because of John Hawkes's cover of "Marcy's Song" in Martha Marcy May Marlene.


You should give him a listen. His voice destroys me.

I like this. What was the concert at the Empty Bottle that we went to where the band covered Jackson C. Frank? Bat for Lashes?
