Jakko M. Jakszyk announces new solo album 'Son Of Glen'
Former King Crimson vocalist Jakko M. Jakszyk have announced their new solo album today.
Son of Glen is slated for a June 27 release on InsideOut Music. The eight-track album is a companion piece to Jakszyk’s recent memoir Who’s The Boy With The Lovely Hair. For the record, the artist enlisted the aid of drummers Gavin Harrison (King Crimson/Porcupine Tree) and Ian Mosley (Marillion), cellist Caroline Lavelle, Louise Patricia Crane on vocals, and Jakko’s son Django on bass. The title track for the album can be heard here. An official music video is set to drop on May 2.
Jakszyk said this about the song:
“A romantic fantasy narrative based on what I discovered about my real father after decades of fruitless searching for him. Glen Tripp was a US airman based in the UK who fell for a dark-haired Irish singer. And here I was many, many years later repeating what he had done by falling for another. What if he had been watching me and guiding me from ‘afar’?”
Pre-orders for Son of Glen can be made here.
