Description
Jack Bessant is a solo singer-songwriter and the bassist in platinum selling English rock band Reef, formed in 1993.
"This is my journey and it's as raw as any other persons," says singer-songwriter Jack Bessant reflecting on his latest solo album Lucky Mountain, released August 2020 on CHEDX Records / High Head Recordings.
For the Reef bassist and solo-artist, this most recent body of work is the culmination of a road long travelled, resulting in a sound that is honest and organic.
Recorded on Jack's farm in a barn converted into a rehearsal/recording space, Lucky Mountain is far from a dark body of work. It resonates with a rich tapestry of emotion, from the mournful melancholy of folk rock harp, through rousing basslines and driving guitar, to the soaring highs of soulful harmonies, with the warm crackle of Norwegian wood burner providing the backdrop to the music. Jack's aim with this 8 track album has been simple - stripped back if you like. "I hope people feel soothed and get something positive out of it," he says. "A feeling of ease, a sense of freedom."
