Bill Jackson - Bio
From the snowbound streets of Nashville and the smoky bars of Austin to the Tapas Bars of Andalucia and the Troubador in London, Bill Jackson has been documenting his stories in song out on the fringes of Melbourne's music scene for what must seem like forever to him.
He remembers sitting in a publisher's office on Music City Row and thinking...maybe this is it...but that was a long time ago and it wasn't...
He remembers rubbing shoulders with Willis Alan Ramsay, Don Schlitz and Lee Clayton in those dirty Nashville writers' dives and slumping into his bed at the Sir John Robertson Hotel next to the old Ryman Auditorium -- wondering if the right lines and melody would ever materialise...maybe they have but you weren't listening...
He remembers The Hole in the Wall and Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin and how it inspired him in that city of eclectic musical freaks...how he just had to get out of London...chilled him to the bone and froze his writer's pen...
He remembers the characters, friends, artists and lovers who have shaped his life and...he remembers how Bob changed his life with the crack of a snare and a big Hammond Organ -- sixty ideas in three minutes...how he helped him understand Woody, Ramblin' Jack, Cisco, Big Bill and a thousand others who gave us a legacy and a belief in doing...
He treasures a group of artist's on our South East Coast who called themselves Lonesome Rex by night and produce statements of artistic beauty by day...listened to his songs...kept taking him back to his roots...to a simplicity in structure -- complexity was in the heart of the beholders they said...he shared their food, wine, stories, good humour and visions...
Through it all he kept on writing and recording -- four albums with Urban Nomads and 'The Hurting Sessions' with Mark McSherry -- never really taking it out there...internalising his passion...writing...writing...and now...
It's all come down to this...Bill Jackson doing it for himself -- always believing that the 'process far outweighs the end result'...then turning an emotional full circle and producing an album full of the rich stuff that we could hang our hats on and just maybe need to hear. You will find yourself somewhere in one of his songs...just maybe he was watching you...
You will love what producer Marcel Yammouni has done with these Jackson songs. You will love the playing of the BigRhythm - Shannon Bourne, Bruce Haymes, Daniel Xuerub, Damien Boyd and Marcel Yammouni -- they come at it from the core of the lyric and out into your favourite space ... check it out and Dig Your Roots..... out now!
