Son Of Glen [CD]

Jakko M. Jakszyk - Son Of Glen [CD]

Jakko has been lead singer and second guitarist in King Crimson since 2013. 'Son Of Glen' is his first solo album since the bands final shows in Japan. Jakko is certainly something of an anomaly, making him quite unique amongst his contemporaries - that is no more evident than here - where he has produced a musical companion piece to his critically acclaimed self-written memoir 'Who's The Boy With The Lovely Hair', which was published in October 2024. Jakko's remarkable songcraft is evident on 'Son Of Glen', as his elegiac lyric muses on our fixation with nostalgia and the human condition, and yet where great songwriting, pathos and poetry would be enough to satiate most listeners, let us not forget that Jakko is (somewhat enviably) also a phenomenal guitarist, exceptional singer and multi-instrumentalist, whose precision production and skill for crafting glorious spatial soundscapes takes his arsenal of talents and skills, to a place where it's more than justified to say, there is no one else quite like Jakko, doing everything that he does, with the proficiency he does it.
