Lost Masterpiece

"Jesse was the last Frankie Stubbs vehicle prior to Leatherface reforming some years ago. This album, originally released in 1998, features an amazing roster of songs that sound as if they should have been the follow up album to Leatherface's swan song, "The Last," in place of the so-so Pope album. Or It could easily be seen as the ominous sound of the group's reintroduction that came with the release of their split release with Hot Water Music. Often invoking the sorrowful tone and mesmerizing power of classic songs like "In My Life," "Not Superstitious," and "Don't Work" the Jesse album is packed with classics such as "Rant" that will have any Leatherface fan stunned that the album has yet to be properly reissued and made available. This is the lost Stubbs masterpiece that no true fan can live without."
