The album 'Jack'
Art has a special place in preserving the memory of the disadvantaged. It gives a voice to the meek and formed the backbone of America's blues tradition. “Jack” is my contribution to insure the tradition remains alive and well.
I was provoked to write "Jack" by recent events in my hometown community of Fullerton, CA. The song is not meant to be historical account of the tragedy. Instead, it is aimed at capturing the deep feelings of injustice it exposed in my community. It is meant to ensure that the memory of this event is not forgotten and that we are not satisfied until "justice rolls on like a river, and righteousness like a never-failing stream."
All electronic sales of “Jack” will be going to the following organization in my community. Purchase the song and help give hope to someone in need. If you wish to give more than the stated $2.00 the option exists.

I want to thank all of the following gracious people for freely giving their time to make this song come to life. Sam Knaak at Earwitness Studios (producer/engineer), Elias Wallace (vocals), Kevin Bartley (Mastering), Tyler Watts (percussion), Alina Welch (cover art), and Flynn Adams (programming). All of your help means more than you know.
Much love,
Jason

Jack
Verse 1
Walkin’ down the tracks
Here comes young poor Jack
Aint got nothing on his back
And nowhere to go
He held Jack to blame
To feed his dying fame
Cheers to future shame
You watched him die
Chorus
Helps out of reach
Poor Jacks beggin’ daddy please
Why don’t you answer me?
Aint he your child?
Verse 2
Walkin’ down the tracks
Here comes young poor Jack
Aint got nothing on his back
And nowhere to go
Evil dressed in black
Skinned poor innocent jack
Faced down on the tracks
They watched him die
Verse 3
Walkin’ down the tracks
Here comes young poor Jack
Aint got nothing on his back
And nowhere to go
Hell found its way
Through the hearts of crooked men today
Wickedness
Now leads the living
