LEVEN JACKIE - CD STRAIGHT OUTTA CALEDONIA

Popis - STRAIGHT OUTTA CALEDONIA:
'Straight Outta Caledonia' is the first commercially available
greatest hits collection of outsider pop and folk songwriter Jackie Leven, an artist who has largely remained in obscurity in his native Scotland despite being one of the greatest wordsmiths - and singers -it ever produced. A well-traveled musician who began making psychedelic, progressive music in the late '60s before emerging as an epic storyteller full of pathos, humor and humanity in the '90s, Leven lived and wrote like many of the fragile, gregarious characters of his songs; large, full of life and empathy. Leven passed away in 2011 after recording more than 30 albums under different guises or with his briefly successful new wave band Doll By Doll.
