Synopsis

Album Description

2007 release from Scottish Folk singer (and former Doll By Doll leader) Jackie Leven, one of the few truly unique and original singer/songwriters on the music scene, Folk or otherwise. From ancient Psychedelic Blues to Post-Modern Tex Mex, stopping off en route to allow America's toughest singer, Johnny Dowd to narrate a horror story ['The Skaters'] about a man killing a woman by a river, Jackie's new album finds him moving deeper into mysterious emotional territory; 'The Silver In Her Crucifix' is a homage to his all time favorite singer, the late Judee Sill, and 'Here Come The Urban Ravens' is a homage to the late and much loved Kevin Coyne. Cooking Vinyl. 2007.

CD Reviews

Jackie does it again!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"There can't be too many singers that are as brave as Jackie Leven. Jackiecan do any kind of music and this album is another fantastic effort from an old style troubadour. How the hell he got hooked up with Johnny Dowd I have no idea but it works flawlessly. You can start anywhere with acquiring Jackie Leven music but be forwarned if you have an average intelligence, a love of real art, and a hatred of anything you hear on the radio you will eventually buy anything from him you can find."
