1975 Mekeel Sessions – Frank, Jackson C. – 12″ Single – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

The ‘1975 MEKEEL SESSIONS’ are a rare and intimate look into the later work of Jackson C. Frank, a profoundly influential yet often overlooked figure in the transatlantic folk movement. Best known for his haunting self-titled 1965 debut, Frank’s career was marred by personal tragedy and obscurity. These session tapes, recorded a decade later in a living room in Woodstock, capture Frank’s voice aged and weathered, his guitar playing raw and stripped-back. There is a palpable sense of longing and reflection in these tracks—Frank reimagines old songs and introduces unheard material with a vulnerability that feels both private and universal. For fans of folk’s golden era and those drawn to the undercurrents of American and British acoustic music, this collection is a revelation. It’s a sonic time capsule, offering insight into the resilience of an artist who, despite hardship, never lost his ability to move listeners. Owning this album is to hold a piece of folk history—a testament to Jackson C. Frank’s enduring artistry and the power of song to outlast the silence of forgotten years.
