Jack Spann, Jesus Of New Orleans. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Where to begin, it is the story of redemption and peace, sinners absolved, of preaching harmony and love for your neighbour and urging disdain for the material and for the unholy…but that was such a long time ago, a different time, a different place, and without ever wishing to deal with the idea of conjuring up the practise of blasphemy, the teachings of a prophet can surely have no place in rock and roll, but the wisdom of the Jesus of New Orleans can, and will have your feet willing to do more than walk on water, it will have them dancing as if they had been charged up by a mortal god.

Jack Spann, Propaganda Man. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The world turns, occasionally it wobbles, and then when we are least expecting it, it lets loose a seismic shock which is hard to shake off. Instead of waiting in anticipation for the rumble of discontent to topple us off our feet, passing the time between the political upheaval and the next wave of spin and opinionated indoctrination, we should stand shoulder to shoulder ahead of time and greet the Propaganda Man with a ready answer, one that the savages of politics will not like.

Jack Spann, Beautiful Man From Mars. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

2016 will always be remembered for many things, some more bizarre than others, some moments which looked upon will always cause a shudder of pain to come rolling down the spine and others which leave only the memory of regret, anguish and a tear rolling down the cheek. It is in the loss of someone as artistically astute and obviously creatively beautiful as David Bowie that the year will arguably turn upon, that is will have deep resonance for years to come and yet out of that beauty steps forward Jack Spann and the album Beautiful Man From Mars.
