unique, indescribable, unforgettable Every song is a little world of its own, created by his subtle guitar, his beautiful expressive baritone, his exquisite and exuberant mastery of the English language with particularly delicious Yorkshire twists, his broad and nuanced understanding of human experience. Jake Thackray is an amazing artist who is very little known in America. . . . Jake died in 2002. There will never be another like him. pure, subtle and fragile song writing there is no other way to describe it. this is musical and literary art. each track is a tiny masterpiece and Jake Thackray's performances are genuinely remarkable on each. and that's the whole review. you've either heard this man and appreciated his brilliant talent or you haven't. there is no way to do justice to him in 1000 words so 66 will have to do. .
