Description
Long touted as "a remarkable songwriter" and "one of the UK's best kept
secrets, Jason McNiff finally delivers his masterpiece"
What keeps one fascinated by McNiff, live and on record, is his unpredictability - never the same twice. Jason is an enigmatic character, a troubadour and one of the finest singers that we have in this country. He is a brilliant guitarist and resolutely follows the path his guitar takes him. Born in Yorkshire of Polish/Irish descent, Jason McNiff has released 3 albums on London-based independent labels. He follows in the line of the finest storytelling of people like Bert Jansch, Richard Thompson and Nick Drake to the great American singer songwriters like Bob Dylan, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Leonard Cohen. Students of love, seekers after truth, old soldiers and the musically adventurous should all find solace in this heartfelt collection.
