Jack Blackman - Too South For Heaven flac mp3 download

ACK BLACKMAN TOO SOUTH FOR HEAVENTuery RecordsAs an example of the capabilities of Jack Blackman, this album is a pretty good showcase. Singer and songwriter, not to mention his guitar playing ability and you have a full deck here. This young man has an abundance of talent, probably unfairly since it is a bit inequitable for one man to have so many gifts and this c.d. is all his own work with some help in the mixing. The album opens with Watch Me Fall and features quite superb guitar work and vocals which have an almost “Dylanesque” character. If this is the standard he produces then he is not going to fall under any circumstances. Track seven No Stranger To Misery was lyrically the most profound for me, allied to his dexterity on the guitar I suppose you could say it was a favourite of mine. That said all of the tracks were of a quality that would justify the purchase of this album. It seems almost churlish to highlight individual tracks as being particular favourites since I enjoyed the full offering. Overall though track eight also touched all my senses with Maybe I’m Wrong and the title is almost an oxymoron since I don’t think either Jack Blackman or me are wrong. The c.d. is a sort of cross-over of folk, roots and acoustic blues which only further highlights in clarity his ability as an all-round performer. At his relatively tender age, you’ll hear a lot more about this musical maestro and if you see him near you then get along to the gig, it will be worth your while.
