Carnival : Jackson C Frank
Loading...
Uploaded by lilstlove on Nov 30, 2008
Jackson C Frank, whose most famous composition 'Blues Run The Game', was an American folk singer, active on the London folk scene during the 60's; he was friends with Simon and Garfunkel, also performing at the same Soho clubs. He also had a close relationship with Sandy Denny, who performed some of his songs, as well as her folk and Dylan repertoire. This is one of the first videos i made, though initially i had problems with the sound, now resolved.

he had a tortured life going back to the fire which took several of his classmates in elementary school and left him burned and disfigured.... he left us these treasures which i play over and over and over again, and he provides a direct link to Sandy and Nick Drake and introspective greatness.. i treasure the note he wrote to me in the early 1990s which touched on his music and life's challenges.

his one album, produced by paul simon, set the standard for singer-songwriters some 43 years ago and it has yet to be equalled.

Thanks for the information dlanodrelda, this particular track came from the 'Anthems in Eden' boxset which has lots of other folk gems on it. I'll be checking out Jackson's album :)

quite a song this is, wait until you hear the whole album...assume you have some nick drake, such as "pink moon".

Thanks maida.. and yes i LOVE Nick Drake's music.. but thanks for the recommendation anyway, one never knows where the next musical magic may crop up, so it's good to be illuminated about new/old stuff!! :)
