Luke Jackson traveled to Sweden, with a heap of pop songs in his luggage, to collaborate with Magnus Börjesson (remember Beagle?) and ex Brainpool members Christoffer Lundquist and Jens Jansson. It all resulted in the album "And Then Some...", a real pop-feelgood-album. It almost feels like this is Luke Jackson's own condensed version of classic guitar based pop history. Then it always starts somehow in George Martin's studio, but lands in the fantastic pop-seventies. There's gorgeous string arrangements, beautiful melodies and and a songwriting full of fantasy, leaving some space for being unpredictable. But I [...]
Look back 15 or 20 years and high quality imaginative MTV clips were exclusively the realm of major label backed artist, that is no longer the case. Nowadays with a bit of time and a little talent anyone can produce a great looking video. Songwriter Luke Jackson has done just that with his animation filled 'Goodbye [...]

ZACH THAT: Really cool music video that is ready for you eyes:

In the Spring of 2006, a seven-year email correspondence culminated in the meeting of Luke Jackson and Magnus Börjeson . Luke had long been a devoted fan of two of the Swedish musician's former bands: Beagle and Favorita , and the two songwriters finally met in Paris where Magnus was mid-tour playing in The Cardigans . By the end of the weekend they were old friends and Luke had accepted an invitation to Sweden for the upcoming Midsummer holiday, the focal weekend of the [...]

Back in my day this Lucious "Luke" Jackson rocked my world as one of the great all-time NBA players (long time member of the 76'ers), and member of the '64 Olympics gold medal b-ball team. It's no secret that Luke inspired Luscious Jackson to name themselves after him, and if you're still with me, there's this Luke Jackson who currently is in the NBA development league. Ah....but there's yet another Luke Jackson and this one's a singer-songwriter with [...]

If you haven't caught hold of Luke Jackson's 2008 album, ... And Then Some (reviewed back in early December), you might want to discover some of last year's most elegant pop. Luke recorded the album in Sweden in the all-analogue recording studio of Christoffer Lundquist with Magnus Börjeson on bass and Jens Jansson on drums. The record will serve well those who enjoy well thought out pop, but are disgusted with the weak melodies and frail temperaments of its usual purveyors. audio: Half A World Away [...]

Luke Jackson released his new album …And Then Some on November 6, this year. The album is filled with talented musicians that can be heard on every track. Unfortunately, I could not say the same about the singing or songwriting. After listening to the album, it was quite clear to me that Jackson is still a beginner in this industry. The first track off …And Then Some is titled "Come Tomorrow" and the lyrics seem very child-like as do the vocals. This is not the case for all of the [...]

I've been slammed busy for the past couple of weeks but now with nothing, really, to do except keep myself busy with various projects I want to do (as opposed to have-to-do) we're back. As Mike Turner would say, this is an announcement of an announcement. Around his time of year, every year, without fail, everyone makes up "best of" lists which tend to be more of a shopping guide than any real critical assessment of the records from the past 12 months. Because I'm cranky and tend to fall regularly into [...]
Well, better late than never. My life's been turned on its head the last few months (and not necessarily, entirely, or permanently in a bad way), but it's meant that I've been doing fewer new shows, and sometimes taking a while to post them. I'm posting this one from a few weeks ago now, and will have another brand new one up in a couple of days. Also, I'll be doing my Christmas Special next week! Good times. artist - song - album :: extra info A.C. Newman - [...]
Luke Jackson "Come tomorrow in the depths of my despair/I am frightened, I'm enlightened, I'll survive/Beg or borrow, I could lose it I don't care/I can taste it, I won't waste, I'm alive" There are moments in life that are filled with a strange and confusing mixture of emotions. It doesn't seem possible, but you feel lost and found, free and trapped, frightened and alive all in the same breath. In the first single from the latest album by Luke Jackson, "Come Tomorrow", he talks about the morning after he reaches the [...]

Two years ago, a seven-year email exchange culminated in Paris, where Luke Jackson and Magnus Börjeson finally met in person, while Magnus was on tour playing in The Cardigans. Luke and Magnus became friends in real life, with Luke jetting off to Sweden in the beginning of the year to the all-analogue recording studio of multi-instrumentalist Christoffer Lundquist. The result is ...And Then Some , ten tracks of expressive elegant pop, both well-rounded and equal in melodic density. There are plenty of highlights on ...And Then Some , though the unrepentant glory and letting go of "Goodbye London," [...]
