Scottish singer does a blues & you know what? He succeeds. The late Jackie Leven -- told his record label he was such a musical genius he'd need to release many more albums than they'd allow. He told them he was prolific. They said no. I think they made a strategic mistake. I haven't heard one Jackie Leven song I haven't liked. His lyrics, music, arrangements, voice -- totally compelling on everything. This song is hauntingly beautiful. Where he found the time to do all this writing baffles me.
