Jackie Leven was a larger than life modern troubadour who led a full on varied life with personal trials and tribulations of addiction to drink, heroin and his attempted murder along the way. He sadly died from cancer just over 10 years ago and this album features 22 artists recording covers of his memorable songs. You do not need to know the story of his life to appreciate the beauty of these songs. They are a unique brand of moody magnificent celtic soul, sometimes celebrating the joys of the countryside, other times tender love songs, but also his unique take on life. Often complex and sometimes melancholy, deep and reflective.
