Biography

Author of a single album released in 1965, Jackson C. Frank has become a cult figure in folk music, on a par with Nick Drake. Born in Buffalo, New York, in 1943, he escaped a school fire at the age of eleven, then used his convalescence to learn to play guitar. After a brief stint in New York clubs, Jackson C. Frank received an insurance premium and left for England, where he recorded an album under his own name, produced by Paul Simon, before returning to live in Woodstock. He died destitute in 1999, shortly after his songs were reissued on the album Blues Run The Game (1996).
