Jackie-O Motherfucker - Fig. 5

Review by naat

Almost like a short hand Harry Smith, the album is an anthology of American music – although instead of the academic approach that Smith took in painstakingly, comprehensively capturing and cataloguing the pure folk and bluegrass of old, JOMF take things from memory, putting their own freewheeling spin on folk, spirituals, blues and jazz and moulding it into a modern sound all their own.»
