Frank's eponymous album is the embodiment of folk legend. Issued in late 1965 on the UK Columbia label, it was for many years more famous for it's producer (Paul Simon) and the musicians who would go on to cover it's songs (Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, Sandy Denny) than for the hauntingly beautiful music contained inside. Frank's backstory certainly adds to the legacy: born in Buffalo, New York, he used the settlement from a childhood accident to sail to London where he quickly became a fixture of the bustling folk scene. Performing a mix of blues standards and originals, he met fellow ex-pat Paul Simon who would put up the money to record Frank's only LP. For such a sparsely recorded work, Jackson C. Frank covers a lot of ground. From the rugged, world-weary opener \"Blues Run The Game\" to the stunning melancholy of \"Milk And Honey,\" Frank's nimble acoustic guitar and passionate howls are all that is needed to power such authentic songwriting. Captured in a single-day session, these ten tracks are stark, gritty and seemingly out-of-place with time. There may be no '60s folk record that is simultaneously as rare and influential as Jackson C. Frank's self-titled debut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e11\/23\/2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANRT-101\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e857661008018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eJackson C Frank \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eAntarctica Starts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Revolver USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33026750775357,"sku":"POP-F-857661008018","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/3572143.jpg?v=1671722968"},{"product_id":"jackson-c-frank-jackson-c-frank","title":"Jackson C.

Even the relatively few record collectors who revered his work were only aware of the lone LP released during his lifetime. For all most listeners knew, Frank made an incredible album in 1965 and then vanished, despite that record having been produced by Paul Simon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1975 Mekeel Sessions features six tracks recorded in the mid-'70s at a studio in Lake Hill, New York about five miles from Woodstock where Frank was living at the time. Only uncovered decades later, these recordings hum with the same mysterious warmth that defined Jackson at his peak. His guitar work, alternating between strummed and fingerpicking, is perfectly understated. His stark and somber voice, more weathered than the lighter tone on his debut. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile the Mekeel tapes were intended for Frank's sophomore album, it never came to be. What one hears is not a singer-songwriter fading out of view, but rather a singular artist who never stopped trying to build his own world-even when no one was watching. For fans of everyone influenced by Jackson: from Nick Drake, Sandy Denny and Bert Jansch to more contemporary acts like Elliott Smith, Vincent Gallo and Iron And Wine who surely used Frank's sparse approach as a template.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003e12\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e01\/30\/2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eANRT-105\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cb\u003e857661008612\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cb\u003eJackson C.
