Jackie Leven - Oh What A Blow That Phantom Dealt Me! (2006)

2007 release from Scottish Folk singer (and former Doll By Doll leader) Jackie Leven, one of the few truly unique and original singer/songwriters on the music scene, Folk or otherwise. From ancient Psychedelic Blues to Post-Modern Tex Mex, stopping off en route to allow America's toughest singer, Johnny Dowd to narrate a horror story ['The Skaters'] about a man killing a woman by a river, Jackie's new album finds him moving deeper into mysterious emotional territory; 'The Silver in Her Crucifix' is a homage to his all time favorite singer, the late Judee Sill, and 'Here Come the Urban Ravens' is a homage to the late and much loved Kevin Coyne. Cooking Vinyl.
