Here's some great primitive rock 'n' roll weirdness for you.

Jack came to my studio in 1989 with a big box of tapes which were eventually turned into this LP.
ReplyDeleteHe had very little money to spend, but because he was so interesting and innocent to the business I decided to do the work for him for next to no money.
He also had the tapes with the heavy-metal guys he toured with, but that wasn't very interesting to listen to.
I was working with the Dallas based band Lord Tracy at the time and they heard Jack's stuff The band and I briefly discussed doing a proper record with Jack. As it turned out their record on MCA had a minor hit and we got too busy touring. It would have been fun. I was very careful not to get Jack's hopes up because I knew he was still passionately in love with his songs and the concept. He still wanted to record everything again and the concept still had legs in his mind even after 25 years.
He died of lung cancer I think and I do recall him smoking A LOT of cigarettes. R.I.P. Jack.
